About this map

Guadalupita serves as the primary settlement center for this portion of Mora County, characterized by the winding path of Coyote Creek and the high plateaus of Ocate Mesa. The landscape is a network of canyons and mesas, where local resource extraction is evidenced by the John Hays Mine and small ranching hubs like La Mesa and La Chuacha. Local infrastructure is concentrated in the southwest corner, anchored by the Guadalupita Post Office and the intersection of S R 518 and Coyote Rd.

The presence of scattered family-named locations such as Hughs and Blatteman suggests a history of long-standing land tenure in this upland environment. Narrow watercourses like LeFebres Creek and Jarosa Creek cut through the terrain toward Cerro Montoso, while smaller developments like Rincon Rd and Ridge Dr provide access to the various canyons. This survey documents the area as it transitioned into the early 21st century, maintaining its rural character.
