About this map

San Geronimo Historic District and the village of San Geronimo anchor this high-altitude landscape in San Miguel County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes and a network of drainages including Tecolote Creek and Cabo Lucero Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns of this region. Local history is preserved in sites like the Geronimo Cemetery and the more southern San Pablo Cemetery near San Pablo.

The presence of Guys Nickel Claims and Mineral Hill points to the area's mining history, while Shearer Ranch and the San Geronimo Cabin reflect the persistent ranching and timber heritage. Geographically, the quadrangle is dominated by significant summits such as Barillas Peak and El Barro Peaks, with deep incisions like Dead Horse Canyon and Morse Canyon cutting through the peaks. This survey captures a moment where traditional land use and historic preservation meet in the New Mexico backcountry.
