2013 Map of Las Vegas

About this map

Las Vegas serves as the focal point of this San Miguel County landscape, where the urban grid of the town site meets the winding course of the Gallinas River. The map documents a significant intersection of history and infrastructure, showing the New Mexico Highlands Univ campus and the industrial corridors along Railroad Ave. A notable density of local history is preserved in the town's numerous burial grounds, including the Masonic Cem, San Jose Cem, and Mt Calvary Cem. Beyond the city limits, the terrain transitions into more open country marked by named features like The Creston and Abeyta Canyon. To the south, smaller settlements like Romero and Romeroville appear near the Gallinas River, while high-country water features such as Bentley Lake and McAllister Lake dot the eastern plains, reflecting the complex water management required in this high-altitude environment.
