Rio San Miguel, 13º25'N. Dept., San Miguel
February 2, 1926 - February 21, 1924
Our location in this camp
is approximately 13º25'N., near Rio
San Miguel. From Miraflores
the first station south and east
of San Miguel our station is
three miles to the south and slightly
to the west in the department
of San Miguel.
This is a cattle ranch
where the owner Enrique Brunera
has about 600 head of cattle
grazing in the grassy lowlands
along the Rio San Miguel to
the north and west side of Lake
Olomaga. They are milking
more than three hundred cows
here for the manufacture of
cheese for the San Miguel market.
There are six new adobe houses
with red tile roofs and about
as many old grates and pole huts
with thatched roofs. During the
day the men are busy about the
ranch and the women are
grinding corn or carrying water to
do their work about their shacks
or houses.
The soil of this region
is a heavy grayish adobe mixture,
while along the Rio San Miguel
