About this map

Las Vegas serves as a significant high-plains hub where the urban grid meets the winding course of Gallinas Creek. The map documents a dense collection of historic burial grounds concentrated southwest of the city center, including the Mount Calvary Cemetery, Masonic Cemetery, and Montafiore Cemetery, providing a valuable footprint for genealogical research in San Miguel County. The campus of New Mexico Highlands University stands as a central landmark within the city, while the surrounding landscape transitions into the open terrain of Pagosa and the restrictive geography of Box Canyon.

Southward along the highway corridor, smaller settlements like Romero and Romeroville appear near the banks of the Gallinas River. Water resources are prominent throughout the quadrangle, from the irrigation-critical Agua Olympia to established bodies like McAllister Lake and Wallace Lake. This survey captures the intersection of traditional New Mexican settlement patterns and modern infrastructure just before the second decade of the 2000s.
