Las Vegas occupies the southwestern corner of this modern survey, where the urban edge meets the expansive landscapes of San Miguel County. The terrain is defined by the course of the Sapello River to the north and the Arroyo Pecos and Arroyo de la Liendre winding through the central and southern sections. This contemporary record shows the northern growth of the city toward Arriba and the rural surroundings including Emplazado and Cañon Bonito. The infrastructure reflects a blend of local ranching access and major regional transit, with the Storrie Lake Canal cutting across the western valley to feed Storrie Lake. For researchers, the map provides a clear view of the modern boundaries between established settlements and the natural drainage patterns that have historically shaped land use in this part of New Mexico.
