2017 Map of Santa Rosa Lake

About this map

Santa Rosa Lake dominates the central landscape of this Guadalupe County region, where the impounded waters of the Pecos River meet a complex network of canyons and drainage systems. This 2017 survey shows the modern topography of the reservoir, including the prominent Horseshoe Bend and the inflow of Esteros Cr. The surrounding high ground is defined by traditional ranching infrastructure and hydrological features such as Rock Hole Spring, Round Top Tank, and Bar Y Tank. To the southwest, the small settlement of Cañoncitos sits near Carmen RD, providing a point of human history in an otherwise open, water-focused environment. The map also traces the local transportation network through named thoroughfares like Joe 7 Louie Page Rd and Stuckeys Rd, which navigate the mesas and basins typical of the New Mexico interior.
