2010 Map of Lucero

About this map

Coyote Creek carves a path through this high-elevation landscape of northern New Mexico, anchoring a series of small, family-named settlements that define the local geography. From Los Cocas in the north to Lucero and Montoya in the south, the pattern of habitation follows the water and the winding route of Coyote Rd. This 2010 survey highlights the cultural imprint of the region through its commemorative landmarks, such as Montoya Cemetery and La Morada Cemetery, providing critical points for genealogical research. The terrain is marked by dramatic drainages like Silva Canyon and Guadalupita Canyon, while the small settlement of La Jara remains a central point with its designated La Jara Post Office. High plains water bodies, including Amador Lake and Apache Lake, contrast with the dry reaches of Jarosa Creek.
