2020 Map of Leyba

About this map

The small community of Leyba sits along the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape in San Miguel County, where the high plains meet the edges of the Santa Fe National Forest. This high country is defined by a series of prominent mesas and deep canyons, including Mesa de Aguilar, Mesa Portrero, and Mesa de la Mula. The drainage patterns are clearly visible through names like Cañada de Pueblo and Arroyo de los Diegos, which carve through the terrain toward lower basins. Local water management is evident in the presence of several established reservoirs, such as Benada Tank and Lower Agua Tank. The map reveals a network of county roads like Co RD b31a and Co RD b31b that connect these remote ranching areas, highlighting a landscape where natural topography dictates the movement of people and livestock through features like Valle Chimal and Rincon del Leon.
