About this map

San Isidro Valley and the surrounding high desert mesas define the geography of this Sandoval County landscape. This modern survey illustrates the rugged drainage systems of the eastern San Juan Basin, where Arroyo Pelon and Penistaja Arroyo cut through the arid terrain. The land is characterized by prominent geological features such as Ceja Pelon Mesa and Mesa Penistaja, which overlook the complex network of washes and seasonal watercourses. Notable landmarks like Dry Spring and San Isidro Wash highlight the critical water sources in an otherwise dry environment. The presence of these traditional Spanish-named geographical features reflects the long-standing cultural and topographical heritage of the region. The modern road network is represented by routes 44 and 550, which traverse the northern reaches of the quadrangle.
