About this map

Guadalupita rests at the southern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Coyote Creek meet the mouth of Guadalupita Canyon. This modern survey illustrates a rugged terrain defined by massive mesas and deep drainages, including the prominent Ocate Mesa to the north and LeFebres Mesa in the east. The settlement is connected by a network of local roads like Coyote Rd and Rincon Rd, while the Guadalupita Cem serves as a significant landmark for genealogists and local historians.

The geography is dominated by a complex system of creeks and canyons, such as Little Blue Creek, Jarosa Creek, and the secluded Los Huerros Canyon. High points like Cerro Montoso and La Chuacha provide distinct topographical markers amidst the timbered slopes. Notable water features like Cowboy Lake punctuate the landscape, while numerous canyon systems including Williams Canyon and LeFebres Canyon indicate the deep erosional history of this Mora County region.
