2013 Map of Mesa Lauriano

About this map

Mesa Lauriano dominates this high-elevation landscape in San Miguel County, where the high mesas and deep drainages of northeastern New Mexico are meticulously documented. The terrain is defined by dramatic escarpments like Mesa de los Carros and Mesa Montosa, cut by the winding course of the Gallinas River and the seasonal waters of the Indio Arroyo. Human presence is marked by a network of rural routes, including CO Road C48, which provides access to family landmarks and historical sites. For those researching local heritage, the Los Torres Cem stands as a significant point of interest near the southern canyons. Water management in this arid environment is evident through features like Hawk Windmill, Point Lake, and Big Tank, illustrating the ranching and agricultural requirements of the region at the start of the 21st century.
