About this map

Cerro Marquez and the Santa Rosa Peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape where the borders of McKinley, Sandoval, and Cibola counties converge. The region is defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas, including Cañon de San Mateo and the prominent Mesa Marquez. Water sources are critical identifiers in this arid environment, marked by numerous springs and seasonal basins such as Ojo Marquez, Ojo San Mateo, and Laguna Santiago.

Settlement patterns are sparse, represented by the small locales of Las Carretas and Puertecita. Cultural history is anchored by the Marquez Cem, located near Arroyo Hondo along Co RD 279. The map also documents modern topographical markers like B-52 Hill, contrasting with traditional Spanish-named features such as Rincon del Oso and Puerto Grande, reflecting the long-standing land-use traditions of the San Antonio Valley.
