2013 Map of Guadalupe

About this map

The settlement of Guadalupe and its surrounding high-desert landscape are captured here in the early 21st century, centered on the Rio Puerco drainage. This area in Sandoval County is defined by its deep cultural roots, anchored by the Guadalupe Historic District and the nearby Guadalupe Cem. The terrain is dominated by a series of volcanic and sedimentary formations including Cerro de Guadalupe and Cerro de Santa Clara, interspersed with numerous seasonal springs like Ojo del Padre and Guadalupe Springs. These water sources, along with features such as Aranda Tank, suggest a long history of ranching and subsistence in a challenging environment. The southern portion of the sheet transitions into the Cibola National Forest, while the northern reaches are accessed via Guadalupe Rd and San Luis Rd, connecting the scattered homesteads and peaks of this remote high-altitude basin.
