2017 Map of San Ignacio

About this map

San Ignacio serves as a primary settlement point in this corner of Guadalupe County, where the high desert terrain is defined by complex canyon systems and seasonal watercourses. The local landscape is marked by the winding path of Pintada Arroyo and the drainage of Cañada Bonita, which cut through the high ground. Genealogists will find the San Ignacio Cem located east of the main settlement, providing a specific point of interest for local family histories. To the north, the terrain levels out near Bull Lake, while the major transit corridor passes through Vegas Junction. Distinctive geological features like Puerto Haspe and the Rincón de la Manzanita illustrate the traditional Spanish nomenclature used to describe the local landforms and alcoves of the New Mexico interior.
