2020 Map of Veguita

About this map

Rio Grande waters flow through this New Mexico landscape, creating a fertile corridor that supports a series of river-adjacent settlements including Pueblitos, Bosque, and Veguita. This agricultural valley is defined by its network of irrigation and local roads, many bearing family names like Armijo Rd, Cordova Rd, and Enrique S Sanchez Rd. The map illustrates the sharp contrast between the irrigated lowlands and the higher, arid ground to the west where the Rio Puerco and Abo Arroyo meet the valley floor. Aviation history is present in the form of rural airfields like Flying H Airport and Skywagon Farm Airport, which sit alongside established community landmarks such as the Veguita Cem. This document provides an exacting record of the late-twentieth-century rural infrastructure and the persistent boundary between Valencia and Socorro counties.
