About this map

Seton Village National Historic Landmark anchors this 2013 topographic study of the high desert terrain southeast of Santa Fe. The map documents a complex landscape of traditional northern New Mexico settlements and modern residential expansion, such as the sprawling street network of Eldorado at Santa Fe. The geography is defined by a dense system of seasonal watercourses and canyons, including Arroyo Hondo, Cienega Creek, and Cañada de los Alamos.

Historically significant locations like Seton Village and Rancho La Merced are situated near the edge of the Santa Fe National Forest, which covers the northeastern corner of the quadrangle. The map reveals the intricate road systems that have developed around old ranching sites like Ninemile Ranch and Gallina Camp, while landmarks like Coyote Mountain and the Cerros Negros hills provide vertical relief against the alluvial plains and drainage basins.
