2013 Map of Montoya Point

About this map

Montoya Point stands as a prominent topographic landmark in this high-plains landscape of San Miguel County. The terrain is defined by a series of drainage systems, most notably Arroyo del Gato, which carves through the central portion of the map alongside Perra Draw. Human activity in this arid environment is signaled by the distribution of water infrastructure, including the Upper Perra Windmill, Prairie Dog Windmill, and Three Legged Windmill. These features indicate a ranching economy where water access was critical for survival and land use. The presence of Waggoner and the path of NM-419 provide the primary points of reference for navigation across the varied elevations, while waterways like La Cinta Cr and TV Cr frame the boundaries of the local watershed.
