2013 Map of Las Vegas NW

About this map

Las Vegas anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the high plains meet the eastern foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The geography is defined by a complex network of water management, including the Storrie Lake reservoir and the N Storrie Inlet Canal, which divert flows to support this arid region's ranching and municipal needs. To the north, small traditional settlements like Emplazado and Los Alamos sit along the Sapello River, connected by Co Road A6. Local history is preserved at sites like N Pilgrims Rest Cem and Saint Anthonys Cem, while the modern infrastructure of the Las Vegas Municipal Airport and the path of NM-250 reflect the area's continued role as a regional transit hub. The map captures the transition from structured town streets like Dora Celeste Dr and Harris Rd into the expansive grazing lands and arroyos of San Miguel County.
