2020 Map of Ojitos Frios

About this map

Ojitos Frios and the surrounding highlands of San Miguel County are defined by a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. This high-altitude landscape is dominated by notable landforms like The Creston and Tecolote Peak, which rise above the surrounding valleys. The map documents the western edge of Las Vegas, where the Luna Community College campus sits near Devils Gulch. Numerous traditional settlements and rural homesteads are connected by roads like Co Rd A19A and Co Rd A20, tracing paths through Lagunas and down to La Manga. Local history is anchored by features such as the La Manga Cem and various seasonal watercourses, including Agua Zarca and Tecolate Cr, which have historically dictated the placement of ranching and residential sites in this part of New Mexico.
