About this map

Preston Beck land grant territory defines this high-desert landscape in San Miguel County, where ranching life persists along the winding drainage of the Conchas River. This early 1970s survey captures a rural landscape shaped by seasonal watercourses like Corazon Creek and Garita Creek, which carve deep contours into the undulating terrain. The placement of the Sena Cem and the presence of family-named outposts such as Quintana Ranch and Thompson Ranch reflect the deep-rooted Hispanic and pioneer heritage of the region. The dominant landform, Mesa Pino, rises sharply in the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a prominent navigational landmark for those traversing the open range between these isolated homesteads and the river valley.
