1978 Map of San Ignacio

About this map

San Ignacio serves as a focal point for this high-desert landscape in Guadalupe County, where water and topography dictate the pattern of human activity. The terrain is deeply inscribed by seasonal drainages and canyons, including the significant Arroyo Pintada and the winding Puerto del Haspe. Near the center of the survey, the San Ignacio Cem sits as a quiet landmark of local genealogy, while the presence of the Pintada Mine and a labeled Drill Hole point to the area's geological prospecting history. To the north, Vegas Junction marks a key transit point across the open country, while the Bibbs Ranch and Bull Lake highlight the intersection of private landholdings and essential water sources in this arid region.
