About this map

The Pecos River carves a deep path through the canyon lands of the Santa Fe National Forest in this 2020 topographic survey. This corridor of the Pecos Wild and Scenic River serves as the primary axis for small settlements like Tererro and Tres Lagunas, where the valley floor provides the only level ground for habitation. Steep terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward high points like Rosilla Peak and the expansive Viveash Mesa.

Evidence of local history and family heritage is found in the scattered hamlets of El Macho, Upper La Posada, and Lower La Posada. The inclusion of the El Macho Cem offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing roots in the rural mountain communities of San Miguel County. The landscape is defined by its drainage networks, including Holy Ghost Cr and Davis Cr, which feed the main river from high-altitude canyons like Macho Canyon and Dalton Canyon.
