2017 Map of Santa Rosa

About this map

Santa Rosa serves as a pivotal hub on the eastern plains of New Mexico, where the Pecos River bends south through the landscape. This 2017 survey shows a modern town deeply intertwined with its mid-century heritage, notably along the corridor of Hst Rte 66. The settlement’s identity is anchored by its unique desert hydrology, including the famous Blue Hole, a deep artesian well, and a string of local basins like Park Lake, Hidden Lake, and Perch Lake. For researchers and family historians, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, such as Saint Rose of Lima Cem and Evergreen Cem, which speak to the long-standing community roots in Guadalupe County. To the north, the terrain transitions into more isolated reaches like Rattlesnake Canyon and the small settlement of Cañoncitos, while the southern expanse is marked by the distinct profile of Table Mtn.
