2002 Map of San Geronimo

About this map

San Geronimo and San Pablo sit along the eastern edge of this terrain, where the foothills meet the Grant Las Vegas boundary. The landscape is dominated by the high ridges of the Santa Fe National Forest, rising toward peaks such as Bartilas Peak and the El Barro Peaks. This map traces a transition from the structured forest land and its associated Lookout Tower to the ranching and settlement patterns found in the drainage basins of Tecolote Creek and Tres Hermanos Creek. Local resource extraction and land use are evident in the presence of a Mine and Mineral Hill, while the remote Shearer Ranch sits deep within the canyon systems. Family and local history researchers can identify specific sites like the Cem near San Geronimo and follow old roads that cut through Morse Canyon and Dead Horse Canyon.
