2013 Map of Laguna La Monia

About this map

Laguna La Monia and the high desert terrain of San Miguel County define this landscape, where ranching operations and natural landforms intersect. The presence of named locations like the Schlothauer Feliz Ranch, Bryan Pens, and Cobb indicates a history of land use focused on livestock and rural habitation. This high plateau is carved by deep drainages, including Cañoncito de Mogote and Cañon de las Cuevas, which lead toward the Conchas River in the northeast. The road network, consisting of NM-104, La Monia Rd, and Mishawaka Rd, provides the primary access through this varied topography. A Po landmark near the southern edge suggests a central point for local communication and commerce in this sparsely settled region of New Mexico.
