1889 Map of Santa Fe

About this map

Santa Fe serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century landscape, appearing at a transitional moment before the arrival of the modern automobile era. The territorial capital is anchored by the presence of Old Fort Marcy and connected to the wider world by the Santa Fe Southern R. R. and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, which snakes through the challenging terrain of Apache Canyon. This survey captures the distinct cultural geography of northern New Mexico, from the established Tesuque Pueblo to small settlements like Rodriguez and Gonzales Ranch.
