About this map

Campana and the surrounding ranchlands of San Miguel County are defined by an intricate network of drainage canyons and scattered water sources in this 2013 survey. The landscape is carved by numerous seasonal watercourses including Atarque Creek, Medio Creek, and Seco Creek, which have sculpted prominent landforms like Muertos Canyon and Polecat Canyon. This arid environment relies heavily on a system of distributed windmills for livestock and ranching operations, with functional landmarks such as the Medio Shipping Pasture Windmill and Rock Hole Windmill serving as vital infrastructure.

Transportation through this canyon-cut terrain is limited to rural routes like Trigg Road and Steves Lane, while the northwestern corner is touched by NM-433. The map documents established sites like Mule Camp and China Canyon, reflecting the enduring ranching character of northeastern New Mexico. The concentration of named windmills, from the Red Spring Windmill to the Bueyeros Windmill, provides a clear view of the water-driven geography essential to local land use.
