2020 Map of Guadalupe

About this map

Guadalupe and the surrounding canyon country of Sandoval County are documented here as they appeared in 2020. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rio Puerco and its tributaries, such as Arroyo Chico and Canada de las Lomitas. High desert peaks like Cerro de Guadalupe and Cerro Chamisa Losa rise above the drainage basins, while the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail traverses the western portion of the quadrangle. Local water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by numerous springs and ojos including Guadalupe Springs, Ojo del Padre, and Ojo Frio. Human presence is anchored at the settlement of Guadalupe and the Guadalupe Cem, with southern portions of the map extending into the Cibola National Forest. The map also details several prominent landforms like Abra de los Cerros and Banco de la Casa, illustrating the complex topography and ranching heritage of the Rio Puerco valley.
