About this map

The Pecos River valley carves through the heart of this San Miguel County landscape, defining the settlement patterns of North San Ysidro and South San Ysidro. This high-elevation terrain is characterized by massive landforms like Glorieta Mesa and Gusano Mesa, which tower over the river corridor and the transit lines that follow it. Much of the area is protected within the Santa Fe National Forest, where deep drainages like Los Alamitos Canyon and Apache Canyon create a complex system of ridges and arroyos.

Local infrastructure is concentrated along the river and the highway, connecting small communities such as Ilfeld, Gise, and Sands. Traces of ranching and early land management are evident in the presence of named water sources like E-Rim Tank and Ojo de las Tortolitas, while local roads such as Hidden Valley Ranch Rd and Gonzales Rd reach into the more remote canyons and mesas of the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
