1991 Map of Veguita
USGS Topo · Published 1996About this map
The Rio Grande valley south of Belen is defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, reflecting centuries of agricultural adaptation in this arid landscape. This 1991 revision, based on imagery dating back to 1947, illustrates the complex water management system of ditches, drains, and laterals that sustain the small settlements along the river. Features like the Bosque Ditch, Old Jarales Ditch, and Sabinal Riverside Drain parallel the river's course, while large land tracts such as the Belen Grant, Tome Grant, and Casa Colorada Grant speak to the region's historic land tenure. To the west, the arid mesas are cut by the Rio Puerco, providing a stark topographical contrast to the fertile valley floor where the villages of Sabinal, Bosque, and Veguita are situated. For genealogists, the map identifies local landmarks and several Cem locations near the primary settlements.
