About this map

The Conchas River winds through this New Mexico landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Variadero in the south and providing a focal point for the surrounding high desert terrain. Notable for its distinct landforms, the area is defined by the prominent Variadero Mesa and the elevated Mesita Trementina to the north. These features are dissected by a network of drainage systems including Trementina Cr, Arroyo Manga, and Arroyo Rendia, which dictate the placement of local thoroughfares like Jose Estrada Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the San Rafael settlement and the Trementina Cemetery, providing specific points of interest for family research. The map illustrates a rural infrastructure of county roads such as Co Rd C56A and State Hwy 104, reflecting the connectivity of these remote San Miguel County ranching and farming communities during the early twenty-first century.
