About this map

The boundary between SANTA FE CO and SAN MIGUEL CO bisects this New Mexico landscape, dominated by the timbered ridges and canyons of the Santa Fe National Forest. The 2002 revision reflects a long-established ranching and livestock infrastructure, evidenced by a dense network of water features such as Huddleston Tank No 5, Martinez Tank, and Quintana Tank. These tanks and wells, like Huddleston Well No 1, are vital to the survival of high-desert ranching operations.

Settlement patterns follow the drainages of Valle de la Cabra and Garcia Canyon, where family-named sites like Huddleston Ranch, Martinez Ranch, and the Childres Place are situated. The presence of the School Section Tank and several quarries near the Third Standard Parallel North indicate the intersection of public land management, local education funding, and small-scale resource extraction in the region during the early 21st century.
