About this map

Tuloso Cemetery and the adjacent settlement of Tuloso anchor the northwestern portion of this San Miguel County landscape, characterized by isolated ranching outposts and high desert terrain. The topography is defined by significant landforms like Yegua Mesa and the prominent Punta del Chorro, which overlooks a network of seasonal drainages including Salitre Creek and Corazon Creek.

Evidence of established land use appears at Conchas Ranch, situated near Chorro Spring, while the scattered locales of Esquibel and Simpson highlight the sparse, rural nature of the region in the early 21st century. County Road C-48-A provides the primary transit through this open country, where the winding Cañada Tuloso cuts through the mesa lands, marking a persistent connection between natural water sources and human habitation.
