About this map

San Augustin sits at the eastern edge of this northern New Mexico landscape, where the Gallinas River cuts through the high desert terrain. The community is marked by its Po and the San Augustin Cem, serving as a focal point for the surrounding dispersed settlements of Los Fuertes and Los Montoyas. The layout of the land is defined by deep incisions like Apache Canyon and La Cueva Canyon, which provide natural corridors through the varied elevations.

Transportation through the region relies on routes like Co Road c24, which connects these small outposts and the Charles Rnch. To the west, the winding paths of Arroyo la Manga and Tecolote Creek drainage patterns illustrate the water-carved geography typical of San Miguel County. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when these rural roads and family ranches maintained a long-standing settlement pattern amidst the dominant features of Apache Mesa and Cañon de Aguilar.
