Not illustrated. 1895 edition. Excerpt: ...or Embuda is a town on a creek of the same name, which makes into the Rio Grande from the E., about 25 m. by the road from San Juan. The location is a couple of miles above the mouth of the creek, which falls into the Rio Grande at a place called Rinconada on account of its cornered or shut-in site among the surrounding mesas. It is near the scene of an engagement in Jan., 1847, when Captain John H. K. Burgwin of the 1st U. S. Dragoons defeated the insurgents; he died Feb. 7th of wounds received Feb. 4th in the assault on Taos. 2. Trampas is a town on the creek of that name, a main tributary of the Embudo, 8 or 10 m. above the town of E1nbudo. You pass Trampas about halfway on the main upper road from Santa Fe to Taos, about 7 m. N. of Truchas. 3.

On the other side of this range are the headwaters of Rio Canada--that great fork of the Arkansaw better known as the " Canadian " r., without the tilde: see note p. 558. 8 Santa Fe is not " on the Rio Grande," as often loosely said, but at least 20 m. (direct) E. of that river, and considerably further than this up from the mouth of the small stream on which it is situated, in a rather out-of-the-way place. This creek, Rio de Santa Fe, or Rio Chacito, comes down from the lofty Santa Fe mts. under which the town nestles, and runs with a general S. W....
