About this map

Lamy sits at the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the seasonal waters of Galisteo Creek wind through the high desert terrain. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems and canyons, most notably Bull Canyon and Bobcat Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus of Pine Mesa. The presence of the Santa Fe National Forest in the northeast highlights the transition from open grazing land to protected woodlands.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural infrastructure of the early 21st century, including the remote settlement of San Cristobal and the San Miguelito Cem. The map documents a variety of vital water sources in this arid environment, from isolated tanks like Sarapio Tank and Isaque Tank to springs like Padre Spring Creek. Historic transit corridors are preserved through local routes such as Ojo de la Vaca Rd and Via La Puenta, reflecting the continued importance of these traditional access ways.
