Description
Rio Guadalupe is a tributary to the Jemez River and part of the Middle Rio Grande River system. The confluence of Rio Cebolla and Rio de Las Vacas form the Rio Guadalupe at Porter Landing. From Porter Landing the river flows through series of box canyons and valley confinement until it reaches the wider, lower gradient valley type for the last 5 miles before reaching the confluence with the Jemez River. The Guadalupe Headwaters contain the Rio de las Vacs which drains out of the San Pedro Park Wilderness and the Rio Cebolla which drains the land to the west of the Valle Caldera National Preserve. The watershed encompasses 171,194 acres (268 square miles), owned by the Forest, New Mexico Department of Game and Fish (NMGF), Valle Caldera National Preserve, and private landowners.
