1995 Map of Guadalupe

About this map

The Ignacio Chavez Grant dominates this landscape in northwestern New Mexico, where the settlement of Guadalupe sits along the winding course of the Rio Puerco. This 1995 revision reveals a terrain defined by high mesas and deep canyons, including Cañon Guadalupe and Cañon Salado. The map shows several perennial water sources essential for livestock and habitation in this arid region, such as Ojo del Padre, Guadalupe Springs, and the Aranda Tank. Cultural markers like the Guadalupe Cemetery and the remote Banco de la Casa provide critical points of reference for genealogists and local historians. To the west, the boundary of the Cibola National Forest meets the land grant, while prominent volcanic plugs and mesas like Cerro de Guadalupe and Cerro Cuate punctuate the horizon, illustrating the complex geological history of the Rio Puerco valley.
