2023 Map of Sabinoso

About this map

Sabinoso Wilderness dominates the landscape of this San Miguel County quadrangle, where the Canadian River carves through high mesa country. The small settlement of Sabinoso sits near the river's bend, serving as a focal point for a region defined by an intricate network of deep canyons, including Cañon Gonzales, Cañon Sabinoso, and Cañon Negro. Local history is anchored by the Largo Cem situated near the head of Cañon Largo, and the scattered sites of Ancon and Sanchez. The terrain is marked by prominent family-named features like Cerro del Miguel Antonio and Cañon Agapito, reflecting the deep-rooted Hispanic ranching heritage of the area. Transportation in this high-desert environment is limited to unpaved routes such as Juniper Ridge Co Rd C55A, which provide access to the drainages of Lagartija Creek and the surrounding tablelands.
