About this map

South Garcia is situated in a high-desert landscape defined by the convergence of several major drainage systems and prominent landforms. The terrain is anchored by the dark profiles of Black Mesa and Mesa Redonda, while water sources like Dipping Vat Spring and El Ojo Escondido provide vital points of interest in this arid environment. The hydrography of the region is dominated by the Rio San Jose and the Rio Puerco, which are fed by various seasonal channels including Arroyo del Miranda and Arroyo Garcia.

Transport and access are traced through a network of local and historic routes, notably NM-6 and Canoncito School Rd. The map also details early regional infrastructure such as Indian Service Route 548 and Indian Service Route 61, alongside livestock landmarks like Windmill Number 3. The complex intersection of Cibola, Valencia, and Bernalillo county lines illustrates the administrative evolution of this New Mexico territory.
