2017 Map of Gilman

About this map

The Rio Guadalupe cuts a deep path through the eastern edge of the Santa Fe National Forest, creating the dramatic narrowing known as the Guadalupe Box. This high-desert landscape is defined by a series of prominent plateaus and canyons, including Peggy Mesa, Mesa Venado, and Guadalupita Mesa. The settlement of Gilman sits at a critical junction where State Hwy 485 meets the river, serving as a gateway to the complex terrain of the Sierra Nacimiento. Evidence of traditional land use and water management is seen in the network of springs and arroyos, such as Navajo Springs, Barrel Spring, and the long reach of the Arroyo Peñasco. Further south, the map details the transition into flatter terrain at Coyote Flats and Jack Rabbit Flats, providing a comprehensive look at the geography of Sandoval County as it appeared in 2017.
