San Luis Hills dominate the southwestern corner of this Costilla County landscape, providing a stark topographical contrast to the surrounding high-desert plains. This 2019 survey documents a meticulous grid of rural access roads, including Rio Grand, which suggest planned land divisions or settlement patterns in the valley. The presence of water infrastructure like the Trinchera Canal in the northeast and Frinchera Cr in the northwest highlights the essential role of irrigation in this arid region. The map captures a transitional landscape where natural landforms meet a highly structured human geometry of numbered streets and avenues, ranging from 5th Street to 33rd St.
