About this map

The high desert landscape of Santa Fe County is defined by its deep arroyos and dramatic mesas, anchored by the community of Madrid. Once a bustling coal mining town, this area transitions from the prominent Waldo Mesa toward the southern heights of Cedar Mtn. The terrain is carved by ephemeral waterways like Galisteo Creek and Arroyo Largo, which have shaped the settlement patterns and road networks over decades.

Further north, the map reveals the smaller locality of Rosario near the Sandoval County line. Local history is etched into the land at the Madrid Cem and Rosario Cem, while geological landmarks such as the Cerrillos Hills and the distinctively named Devils Throne punctuate the arid horizon. An intricate web of trails and local routes, including Turquoise Trl and Rogersville Rd, connects these isolated desert outposts.
