About this map

The Pecos River valley serves as the central corridor for this part of San Miguel County, where the settlement of Pecos is anchored by the historic Old Saint Anthonys Church Cem and the New Saint Anthonys Cem. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of the Santa Fe National Forest to the archaeological and cultural grounds of the Pecos National Historical Park. Along the river's path, the Lisboa Springs Fish Hatchery and Monastery Lake mark significant local landmarks near the northern reaches of the valley.

Transportation routes like State Road 63 and the Old Denver Hwy connect the scattered communities of Glorieta, La Cueva, and Rowe. Notable ranching and trading history is evident in the presence of the Forked Lightning Ranch and a traditional Trading Post near the park boundaries. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, moving from the broad Glorieta Mesa toward prominent summits such as Cerro de Escobas and Rowe Peak.
