About this map

The Caja Del Rio Plateau and the Caja Del Rio Grant dominate the western landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where the high desert meets the growing periphery of Santa Fe. The map documents a period of distinct suburbanization and recreational expansion, evidenced by the development of Las Campanas and its Golf Course, while preserving historical footprints like the Agua Fria (Historic) settlement area.

South of the residential zones, the Santa Fe Municipal Airport and the Santa Fe Sewage Treatment Plant provide a look at the critical infrastructure supporting the region's early 21st-century growth. Water management is a visible theme throughout the terrain, from the Atamo Aqueduct in the north to the many ephemeral drainages like Arroyo Calabasas and Arroyo de los Frijoles that carve through the Cieneguilla Grant. Cultural sites such as San Isidro Cem and local educational landmarks like Agua Fria Sch offer specific points of interest for genealogical and local history research.
