2013 Map of Canon Pedroso

About this map

Cañon Pedroso defines this portion of San Miguel County, where the topography is shaped by the intermittent flow of Pedroso Cr. The landscape is dominated by complex contour patterns and drainage systems that feed into the canyon, illustrating the natural arid-land erosion characteristic of this region of New Mexico. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the utility of local thoroughfares such as Route 97 and the descriptively named Feed Rd in the southeastern quadrant. This survey reflects the enduring physical character of the high plains, where land use appears focused on ranching or transit through the elevated terrain between deeper canyon systems.
