About this map

Rowe and its surrounding high-country terrain are meticulously documented in this 2011 survey, which centers on the community's essential landmarks including the Rowe Post Office and several sacred sites. The local history of San Miguel County is preserved through the mapping of the Rowe Cemetery, Holy Family Catholic Cemetery, and Saint Josephs Chapel Cemetery, all located near the primary settlement.

The landscape is defined by its deep drainage systems and prominent peaks, such as Cañon Ancho, Cañon Pajarita, and the high elevation of Cerro Encinoso. Water management in this semi-arid environment is evidenced by a network of tanks like Jim Dandy Tank and No Agua Tank, supporting ranching operations such as the Archuleta Ranch. The Pecos River snakes through the northeast, while State Rte 34 and Forest 124a RD provide the primary access through this complex terrain of mesas and canyons.
