About this map

San Augustin and its nearby San Augustin Cem anchor the eastern drainage of the Gallinas River in this high-desert landscape of San Miguel County. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of the Tecolote Creek and its tributaries, where small communities like Los Montoyas, Myers, and Sheridan are situated along the valley floor. To the west, La Morada stands as a distinctive landmark overlooking the north-south transit corridor.

The topography is defined by significant mesa formations, most notably Mesa Apache, which is carved by the deep cuts of Apache Canyon and La Cueva Canyon. Water sources such as La Cueva Spring provide vital points of interest in an area otherwise dominated by seasonal arroyos like Arroyo la Manga. The map reveals a network of rural routes, including Co Rd C24 and Sheridan Rd, that connect these isolated northern New Mexico settlements.
