2011 Map of Glorieta

About this map

Glorieta Pass and the surrounding terrain of the Sangre de Cristo foothills dominate this 2011 survey, which documents the complex geography of a critical transit corridor. The map highlights the Glorieta Battlefield National Historic Landmark, a site of significant American Civil War history where a pivotal conflict occurred in 1862. Modern transportation routes follow ancient paths, with the Cañoncito Siding and interstate corridors threading through Apache Canyon. Small settlements and family holdings like Cañoncito at Apache Canyon, Gonzales Ranch, and El Rancho de San Sebastian are interspersed among the rugged drainages of Galisteo Creek and Glorieta Creek. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Cañoncito Cemetery and Glorieta Cemetery, along with several remote ranching outposts like Ortiga Ranch, provides a detailed look at the rural land use and community structure at the start of the 21st century.
