2020 Map of Galisteo

About this map

Galisteo sits as a historic anchor in this Santa Fe County landscape, where the traditional village layout is preserved alongside the Old Galisteo Cem and New Galisteo Cem. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems like Galisteo Creek, San Marcos Arroyo, and San Cristobal Arroyo, which historically dictated settlement patterns and travel routes through the high desert. To the north, Lamy marks a significant rail-oriented locale, noted by the Apache Canyon Railroad Bridge Historic Site and the Lamy Cem. The map reveals a complex web of named trails and ranch roads, such as Eliza's Ridge Trail and Saddleback Ranch RD, reflecting a modern layer of land use atop traditional ranching territory. Landmarks like Cerro Colorado and Loma Montosa provide topographic context for the smaller clusters of Spiess and Kennedy.
