2011 Map of San Lorenzo

About this map

The Mimbres River valley defines the character of this New Mexico landscape, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and transportation. Along its course, the communities of Mimbres, San Lorenzo, and San Juan are linked by a network of winding roads like Acelin Hill Rd and Galaz St. The presence of the San Juan Historic District underscores the deep-rooted heritage of the region, while the Rose Mine and Reeds Peak Lookout Tower indicate a history of resource extraction and forest monitoring. Numerous drainages such as Noonday Canyon and Ancheta Canyon cut through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology that feeds into the central valley. Local roads, including the uniquely named Sherman Cementry Rd and Wigwam Ranch Rd, provide specific points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing land use in Grant County.
