2013 Map of Picture Rock

About this map

Cerrillos and the neighboring community of Los Cerrillos anchor this landscape in Santa Fe County, where industrial history meets high-desert terrain. The presence of the Consolidated Milling and Mining Company and a Gravel Pit Rd north of the settlements reflects the region's long-standing mining economy. Cultural landmarks like the Los Cerrillos Protestant Cem provide points of interest for genealogical research, while the land is shaped by the waters of Galisteo Creek and Arroyo Coyote. Distinctive geological features such as the Garden of the Gods, Mt Chalchihuitl, and Picture Rocks define the local topography. Further north, small settlements like Mee and infrastructures such as the Cerrillos Reservoir and Henderson Windmill illustrate the challenges and adaptations of managing water and industry in this arid environment.
