2020 Map of Tecolote

About this map

Tecolote Cr winds through this New Mexico landscape, anchoring a series of small, high-elevation settlements that follow the natural contours of the valley. The high-desert terrain is punctuated by Starvation Peak and transitions into the timbered reaches of the Santa Fe National Forest to the northwest. The corridor along Old Hwy 84 S links historic communities including Tecolote, Serafina, Bernal, and Blanchard, illustrating a settlement pattern deeply tied to early transportation routes and the drainage of Tres Hermanos Cr. In the southeast, Trés Hermanos Cañon and Chapelle mark the edge of the plateau, while numerous local names like Gabaldon and Santa Ana suggest the long-standing family and cultural history of this rural San Miguel County region.
