2002 Map of San Pablo

About this map

The high-desert terrain of Sandoval County meets the industrial footprint of the early 2000s, defined by the winding course of the Rio Puerco and the prominent rising of Marion Butte. This area shows a complex intersection of national forest land and extractive history, most notably at the Nacimiento Mine and Padilla Mine. The map details small settlements like San Pablo and San Miguel, which are connected by a network of drainage systems including San Pablo Canyon and San Miguel Canyon. Industrial infrastructure is visible through a Sawmill Incinerator and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the economic activities that supported these communities. Further north, the landscape transitions toward the Santa Fe National Forest and the boundary with Rio Arriba County near Lagunitas, where the presence of a Sewage Disposal Ponds indicates local municipal utility management.
