2010 Map of Sapello

About this map

Sapello River and Manuelitas Creek define the geography of this northern New Mexico landscape, where water-carved canyons and high ridges dictate the pattern of human settlement. The rural communities of San Ignacio, Canoncito, and Sapello are positioned along these critical waterways, reflecting a traditional acequia-adjacent lifestyle. The map documents numerous family and community landmarks, including the Sapello Post Office and five distinct burial sites such as Soledad Cemetery and Santa Niño Cemetery, which serve as vital touchstones for local genealogical research.
