About this map

The high-desert coal mining landscape of Santa Fe County is meticulously detailed in this survey centered on Madrid. Known historically for its coal production, the town is shown here surrounded by the legacy of its industrial past, with Anthracite Number Eight Mine, the White Ash Mine, and the Evelyn Coal Mine marking the terrain. To the north, the settlement of Cerrillos sits along Galisteo Creek, accompanied by its Cerrillos Post Office and the Los Cerrillos Protestant Cemetery.

Evidence of local water management is prominent at Galisteo Dam, which holds back seasonal flows across a wide basin near La Bolsa. The geography is defined by the northern reaches of the Ortiz Mountains and landmarks like Devils Throne. For those tracing local history, the map provides precise locations for three distinct burial grounds: the Rosario Cemetery, Madrid Cemetery, and the Protestant grounds near Cerrillos, offering a clear picture of the region's scattered settlements and resource-driven economy.
