2020 Map of La Silla

About this map

Variadero Mesa and the prominent peak of La Silla define this high-altitude landscape in San Miguel County. The settlement of Adero Az serves as a central point along the winding mountain routes, including Co RD C-59 and Magnolia Rd. The drainage patterns of the high mesas are traced by intermittent watercourses like Garita Cr, Pino Cr, and Little Cuervo Cr, which cut through the tablelands of North Mesa and West Mesa. This modern survey illustrates the enduring relationship between topography and transit in northern New Mexico, where roads are constrained by the steep relief of the mesas. The map detail reflects the persistence of traditional land divisions, showing the boundaries of t13n r23e, t13n r24e, t12n r23e, and t12n r24e across the rugged terrain.
