2023 Map of San Jose

About this map

The Pecos River valley carves through this northern New Mexico landscape, anchoring a string of traditional settlements including San Jose, Ribera, and El Ancon. This modern survey reveals the persistent spatial arrangement of these villages as they follow the river’s path, separated from the northern uplands of the Santa Fe National Forest. The map documents a rugged geography of drainage systems like Mortandad Creek and La Madera Canyon that feed into the Pecos, defining the arable land and travel corridors of San Miguel County.
