Selected from the Digital Public Library of America's 28 image records catalogued for this county. Every one shown here carries a public-domain status or a licence that permits reuse on a site that carries advertising; non-commercial, share-alike and restricted images are excluded. The selection is spread across the county's towns (at most eight per town), so no single institution's bulk upload crowds out the rest. Each opens the holding library's record, and the complete set at the Digital Public Library of America is one click away.

The county from the air

48 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 3,609 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

When	Event	Place named	Harm	What the report says
July 2022	Flash Flood	Pendaries	3 killed, $2,000,000	Training thunderstorms across the southern portion of the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon burn scar in San Miguel County produced an estimated 2 to 4 inches of rainfall within the Tecolote Creek and Gallinas Creek areas which caused significant and catastropic flash flooding. Flash flooding and debris flow washed out many roadways within the area, rendering them impassable. The camp director at the Camp Blue Haven said that their playground was underwater for about 40 minutes until water receded. At 2:40 PM MDT, the chief of the Cabo Lucero Volunteer Fire Department received a call about a vehicle floating within the flood waters. When officials responded to the floating vehicle, they also discovered two people dead nearby. While initially thought to have been in their vehicle, officials later determined that the two women, 62-year-old Linda June Cummings and 84-year-old Betty Greenhaw, were swept away from a destroyed home within the Tecolote Canyon subdivision. A third individual from the same home was reported missing, and the National Guard, New Mexico State Police, and San Miguel County Sheriff's Office assised in search and rescue for several days. Finally on Tuesday, July 26th, they found the body of 62-year-old Jimmy Chris Cummings. All three were from Hale Center, Texas, but had a 100-year-lease on a cabin in Tecolote Canyon on the Camp Blue Haven property which they were visiting at the time. Eight feet of water rushing down into the canyon took down two walls of the cabin and partially destroyed the other two walls. Damages for this event are estimated.
May 2000	Wildfire	Pecos	$1,200,000	no account filed
June 2024	Flash Flood	Las Vegas	$1,000,000	Flash flooding from heavy rains closed NM Highway 65 from mile markers 2 to 4 or one mile south of Montezuma where culverts were washed out. Flowing water 1 to 3 feet deep also reported over El Llano Road, Cinder Road, Palo Verde Road and at the intersection of 7th Street and Mills Avenue. Road closures were also reported along State Road 65 at Campus and El Camino, as well as along 8th Street north of Mills Avenue. Robertson Cardinal football field was completely covered in standing water. The Las Vegas Water Treatment Plant also flooded. A mandatory evacuation order was issued at 9:54pm MDT for this area due to the dangerous flooding across Las Vegas to Montezuma. Damage is an estimated given very limited information.
September 2013	Flood	(Lvs)Las Vegas Airport	$1,000,000	Major flooding observed along Gallina Creek near Las Vegas. Evacuations ordered for areas along the river from Montezuma east to Las Vegas. A major breach occurred on the Storrie Lake Diversion Channel. An estimated one year supply of water storage was lost for drinking water due to the breach. A Red Cross shelter was established at Robertson High School. An elderly couple was rescued overnight by the National Guard from the Pine Camp area. NM 283 was closed west of Las Vegas. A sink hole was reported near the South Diversion River Crossing Catwalk with damage to waste water components. A couple of homes and numerous vehicles and roadways were damaged. A bridge on CR-A1 near Sapello was closed due to high water. A total of 1,040 structures were damaged in this multi-day event.
June 2010	Flash Flood	Ribera	$750,000	Heavy rains caused the Pecos River to overflow its banks from Ribera south to nearly Villanueva. One home in Ribera was moderately damaged and two others had minor damage. Route 3, which runs along the Pecos River, was mostly under water. Three other roads were washed out in Ribera. Areas along and upstream from the Pecos received heavy rain, but so did many creeks and tributaries that flow into the river. Roads along these secondary creeks sustained as much, if not more, damage than in the town of Ribera. In Bernal, flooding creeks caused damage to County Roads B27 and B28A. Only one lane remained open after the shoulders were washed away. The flooding also washed out 300 feet of railway along the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad near Bernal. Further upstream, flash flooding along Tecolote Creek caused one bridge to collapse and damaged five low water crossings. The fast moving water was 12 feet outside of its banks. Another low water crossing in Ojito Fritos along County Road A19A had standing water because culverts were blocked by debris. Despite the mud and debris along the road, one lane was kept open.
August 2017	Hail	(Lvs)Las Vegas Airport	$250,000	Hail up to the size of baseballs reported near New Mexico Highlands University. Significant damage occurred to vehicles, especially on the southeastern edge of Las Vegas.
September 2022	Flash Flood	El Porvenir	$200,000	A nearly stationary thunderstorm over El Porvenir produced over two inches of rainfall on this area of the Calf Canyon burn scar. This caused flash flooding on Beaver Creek and Gallinas Creek with significant debris found on Highway 65. The IMET on duty found several locations along Highway 65 that were covered in tree debris, rocks, and mud. Some buildings along the roadway were inundated with a couple of feet of water. The IMET also noted that water had threatened homes in the area as well, but these homes seemed to have been protected with sandbagging. Damages are estimated.
July 2022	Flash Flood	Pendaries	$150,000	Rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches across southern portions of the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon burn scar caused significant flash flooding and debris flow. Widespread flooding was observed along Highway 105 with drainages well out of their banks. A barn along Highway 105 was also flooded. This forced the closure of the highway for several hours on July 1st. County Road A4B was also flooded with debris flow across the roadway. Damages are estimated.
August 1997	Flash Flood	Trujillo	$150,000	Heavy rain in central San Miguel county produced rock and mud slides which closed Highway 104 about 15 miles west of Trujillo and washed away much of the road material along a 2.6 miles stretch of County Road C-51-A near Trujillo. Several homes in Trujillo were also flooded by runoff.
August 2024	Flash Flood	Rociada	$100,000	Damage from flash flooding occurred along County Road A3A. Debris and rubble were scattered across roadways and driveways with some vehicles trapped in the debris. Another video in the same area showed vehicles trapped in flash flooding in Rincon Montoso southwest of Rociada. Property damage for cabins and vehicles is an estimate.
October 2023	Tornado (EF0)	Manuelitas	$100,000	Damage assessment conducted by San Miguel Emergency Management discovered damage to a roof of one house, an overturned chicken coop near the damaged house, and power poles downed between Escondido Lane and Wyatt Dr. intersecting County Road A1.
August 2022	Flash Flood	Rociada	$100,000	Heavy rain on the Calf Canyon burn scar ran into the Rito San Jose, causing it to overfill its banks. This caused significant flooding near Rociada as high and fast-moving water ran up against a house near Highway 105 and County Road A4B. Water nearly swept away a large propane tank as well. Reports were also received of water near another building in Rociada and with water up to the bumpers of several parks vehicles. Damages are a rough estimate.
August 2013	Flash Flood	Sanchez	$95,000	Off duty NWS employee reported while traveling in northeast NM. Met with a highway patrol supervisor who gave information on a flash flood event that did considerable damage to sections of SR 419 just north of Trementina. NMDOT was in the process of replacing two bridges (1/8 mile apart) that span arroyos in this area and had temporary detours in place. The water took out a total of three 7 foot culverts that had been in place for over a decade and a local rancher said the water was 7-8 feet deep. It scoured the pavement.
June 1997	Flash Flood	Pecos	$80,000	The Pecos River, already swollen by late season snowmelt, rose quickly during 12 to 18 hours of steady rain which totaled nearly 3 inches in the watershed above Pecos. The combined heavy runoff caused damage to several private bridges and filled low crossings with mud and debris.
August 1996	Hail	Las Vegas	$80,000	no account filed
June 2024	Flash Flood	Las Tusas	$50,000	Flash flooding and debris flow within the eastern edge of the Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon burn scar resulted in a bridge being washed out along County Road A3. Exact location is unknown and damage is an estimate.
June 2022	Hail	Bell Ranch	$50,000	A trained spotter near Bell Ranch reported baseball size hail. The very large hail broke three double-paned plexiglass skylights. Windshields on automobiles were also broken. The spotter remarked that this was the largest hail they had seen in fifty years. Damages are estimated.
May 2021	Hail	Bell Ranch	$40,000	A trained spotter east northeast of Bell Ranch reported hail up to 1.5 inches in diameter from a severe thunderstorm moving southeast through their area. The hail dented their vehicles and also broke three of their skylights. Damages are estimated for the vehicle damage and the broken skylights.
August 2022	Flash Flood	Pendaries	$35,000	Heavy rain on the Calf Canyon burn scar produced flash flooding in Rociada. Video shared by localy broadcast media showed fast moving debris flow overrunning property and structures. Damages are a rough estimate.
July 2023	Flash Flood	San Ignacio	$30,000	Local media shared a video on social media from a viewer showing flash flooding. Fast flowing water with hail and debris was flowing all across the property and beneath the home. Damage is an estimate. There were no reports of injuries or casualties.
August 2022	Flash Flood	Rociada	$30,000	Heavy rain on the Calf Canyon burn scar caused flash flooding in and around Rociada.

Damages are estimated.
July 2022	Flash Flood	Mineral Hill	$25,000	Heavy rain on Tecolote Creek on the Hermits Peak and Calf Canyon burn scar caused the creek to exceed its banks, flooding New Mexico State Road 283 and County Road A19A near Mineral Hill. Damages are estimated.
July 2022	Flash Flood	Las Tusas	$25,000	Heavy rain on the Calf Canyon burn scar caused water and debris to overtop a bridge along Highway 266 at the Sapello River. Damages are estimated.
July 2022	Flash Flood	Manuelitas	$25,000	Manuelitas Creek rose four to five feet and overtopped two bridges along County Road A1 east of State Road 94 between Sapello and Manuelitas. One CoCoRaHS observer near Sapello measured 3.76 inches of rain and remarked that it was the highest flooding levels they had seen in their 58 years at that residence. Damages are estimated.
August 2013	Flash Flood	(Lvs)Las Vegas Airport	$25,000	Law enforcement officials reported that roads were closed in Onava due to flooding. Reports from broadcast media also indicated that the Interstate 25 frontage road was washed over between the Las Vegas Airport and the Onava exit. Extensive damage also occurred to guardrails and a bridge located on CR-23. The flooding appeared to be the result of heavy rainfall that fell within the Pecos Arroyo farther upstream where the first flooding event occurred.
