About this map

Trujillo serves as a focal point for this high-plains landscape in San Miguel County, where the terrain is deeply incised by a network of seasonal drainages and mesas. This survey details the complex system of local roads, such as Co Road C-51-A and NM-104, which navigate the land's difficult verticality. The geography is defined by a series of named canyons that dominate the eastern and northern portions of the quadrangle, including Cañon Escovas, Cañon Ventanas, and Cañon Santiago.

Settlement patterns are sparse, with Alta Vista and Pacheco appearing as small nodes of activity connected by these rural routes. Corazon Hill rises as a prominent landmark near the southern edge of the map, situated above the paths of Corazon Cr and Trementina Cr. The detailed contour lines reveal how these watercourses have carved out significant features like Cañon Cuevas and Cañon Olguin, illustrating the natural erosion patterns typical of the region's ranching and open-range country.
