2020 Map of Mesa Lauriano

About this map

Mesa Lauriano rises as a prominent high point in this 2020 landscape, north of the Gallinas River in San Miguel County. The terrain is characterized by deep drainage systems and high mesas, including Mesa de los Carros and the southern Mesa Montosa. Near the river's path, the Los Torres Cem stands as a focal point for local history and genealogy, situated just off Co RD c48a. The map reveals a rugged western drainage through Cañon Lauriano and Cañon de las Cuevas, where seasonal water sources like Big Tank and Point Lake dot the higher elevations. This modern survey details the sparsely populated ranching and pastoral land as it remains today, defined more by its natural landmarks and named landforms like Mesas Cuatas than by dense settlement.
