About this map

Trujillo serves as the central settlement in this high-altitude landscape of San Miguel County, where the high plains are deeply incised by a network of drainage canyons. The topography is defined by significant relief, notably marked by Corazon Hill and the seasonal flow of Corazon Cr and Trementina Cr. These watercourses have carved out numerous distinct canyons, such as Cañon Ventanas and Cañon Escovas, which dictate the layout of local infrastructure.

Modern local history is reflected in the named rural routes that branch out from the settlement, including Camino De Gutierrez, Pedro Romero Ln, and Matias Aragon Rd. These designations, alongside labels for Cañon Olguin and Cañon Ciruela, emphasize the deep-rooted Hispanic heritage of the region. The map captures a high-desert terrain where ranching and local land ownership are shaped by the natural contours of the mesas and canyon floors.
