1972 Map of Variadero

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The high mesas and winding arroyos of San Miguel County define this landscape along the Conchas River. At the southern edge of the survey, the settlement of Variadero (Garita PO) serves as a focal point near the river's path, while the uplands are marked by the prominent Mesita Trementina and Variadero Mesa. The map documents a rural infrastructure of isolated schools and sacred sites, including the Trementina Sch, San Rafael Ch, and Trementina Cem. A network of drainage systems like Arroyo Rendia, Trementina Creek, and Cañada del Salado carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the high desert. Scattered landmarks such as a Gravel Pit, a Gaging Sta, and various lonely Grave sites provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family activity in this pocket of New Mexico.
