About this map

The Gallinas River meanders through this San Miguel County landscape, cutting through high mesas and deep canyons that define the local geography. The settlement of La Liendre serves as the central point of interest, situated near several significant topographic features such as Cañon del Agua and the elevated Mesas Cuatas. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex where Aguilar Cr flows near Mesa Apache, highlighting the rugged drainage patterns characteristic of this region.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest like the Aguilar Cem, located near the intersection of Cañon de Aguilar and Cañon de las Mujeres. The presence of these named canyons and family-linked sites offers a look at how the land was divided and named during its settlement. The map also details the rural road network, including Co RD 67 and Co RD c24, which provided essential connections through the mesa country.
