2020 Map of Cuba

About this map

Cuba serves as the primary hub in this northwestern New Mexico landscape, situated at the base of the high country where the Santa Fe National Forest begins its ascent. The map documents a rural corridor of small settlements including La Jara, Upper La Jara, and La Placita, connected by a network of local roads like Nacimiento Rd and Cubita Rd. The transition from the flatlands of Mesa de Cuba to the complex drainages of the Rio Puerco and Nacimiento Cr defines the local geography. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies specific community sites such as the Cuba Presbyterian Cem and La Jara Cem. The presence of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winding through the terrain highlights the area's importance for transit and recreation, passing through regions dotted with isolated water sources like Brodrick Spring and Laguna Bonita.
