About this map

The Pecos River carves a winding path through the heart of this San Miguel County landscape, anchoring a string of traditional New Mexican settlements that trace the river's edge. This 2013 survey highlights the San Miguel del Vado Historic District, a site of profound cultural importance where the village of San Miguel sits at a historic crossing. The settlement pattern here is remarkably dense along the valley floor, moving from Ribera and Coruco south toward the clustered hamlets of Upper Pueblo, Pueblo, and Lower Pueblo.

Away from the fertile river valley, the terrain rises sharply into the high mesas and canyons of the Santa Fe National Forest. Landmarks such as Hurtado Mesa and Mesa Sacatosa tower over the drainage systems of Gonzales Arroyo and Arroyo Vegoso. The map captures the specialized geography of the area's rural road network, including State Rte 484 and numerous county routes that connect isolated communities like Leyba and Villanueva to the larger river corridor.
