About this map

Santa Fe is captured here in 2023, showing the high-desert capital city where it meets the western slopes of the Santa Fe National Forest. The map documents a complex network of arroyos, including Arroyo de los Lovatos and Arroyo Mascaras, which channel seasonal runoff toward the Santa Fe River. This topography defines the modern urban layout, with residential developments like La Tierra and Las Campanas expanding into the rugged foothills.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the detailed plotting of numerous burial grounds, such as the Santa Fe National Cemetery and the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi Cem. Cultural and educational institutions are well-represented, from the New Mexico Supreme Court to Saint John's College Santa Fe. The map also traces the transition from the city center to the surrounding peaks, such as Atalaya Mtn and Sun Mtn, illustrating the relationship between civic development and the Sangre de Cristo mountain landscape.
