Miami sits at the northern edge of a complex geological landscape where the high plains meet the dramatic rises of Rayado Mesa and Gonzalitos Mesa. This 2020 survey illustrates a rural Colfax County environment defined by its water management and livestock history, centered around the settlement and the nearby Miami Cem. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Salado Cr, Rayado Cr, and Chicoso Cr carving through the terrain, while the Charette Lake Canal in the southern reaches indicates the importance of irrigation in this arid region.
