2013 Map of San Luis

About this map

The Rio Puerco carves a winding path through this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County, anchoring a region of mesas and arroyos. The settlement of San Luis sits on the northern bank of the river, positioned between the expansive Bosque Grande Mesa and the prominent Mesa San Luis. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by traditional ranching and land divisions, where isolated outposts like Cuevitas Camp and water sources such as Divide Tank and Cerro Colorado Tank are essential for navigating the arid terrain. To the south, the settlement of Cabezon lies near the bend of the river, shadowed by Angostura Hill. The complex drainage network, including Arroyo de los Cerros Colorados and Arroyo Cuevitas, highlights the geological character of the Rio Puerco Valley, while local roads like Co Road 85 and W Ridge RD provide the primary connections through these high basins.
