2017 Map of Los Montoyas

About this map

Los Montoyas and San Augustin represent small, traditional communities in the highlands of San Miguel County. The landscape is defined by the carved paths of the Gallinas River and Tecolote Creek, which provide narrow corridors of water in an otherwise arid high-desert environment. Local genealogy and settlement patterns are anchored by features like the San Augustin Cem, while family-named land features such as Charles Ranch and Gabe Rd hint at the rural ranching heritage of the area. The topography is marked by deep incisions like Apache Canyon and La Cueva Canyon, as well as the broad elevation of Apache Mesa. The network of local roads, including Co Rd C24 and Sheridan Rd, connects isolated points like Sheridan and Myers to the surrounding New Mexican territory.
