2011 Map of Seton Village

About this map

Seton Village National Historic Landmark stands as a focal point of this high-desert landscape south of Santa Fe, marking the legacy of Ernest Thompson Seton. The 2011 survey reveals a complex settlement pattern, ranging from the historic cluster of Seton Village and the La Loma Post Office to the extensive modern residential development of Eldorado at Santa Fe. The terrain is defined by dramatic arroyos and canyons, including Piedras Negras Canyon and Arroyo Hondo, which dictate the winding paths of roads like the Old Santa Fe Trail. A notable industrial trace is the Old Railroad Bed, which cuts through the western portion of the map near Gallina Camp. This mix of established ranches like Ninemile Ranch and growing suburban communities illustrates the evolution of land use on the outskirts of the state capital, where traditional corridors like the Old Las Vegas Highway continue to serve as primary arteries.
