1952 Map of Seton Village

About this map

Seton Village lies at the heart of this landscape south of Santa Fe, situated among the arroyos and canyons that define the foothills of the Sierra de los Valles. The map highlights complex land tenure patterns in the region, particularly the extensive Pueblo de Cañon de los Alamos Grant and the Bishop John Lamy Grant, reflecting the area's deep Spanish colonial and ecclesiastical history. While the northern portion shows established estates like Rancho La Merced and El Rancho Montoso, the southern section features the newer residential layout of El Dorado with its looping street network, including Veraño Loop and Peraño Loop. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad cuts through the eastern terrain near Cañon Ancha, serving as a vital transportation corridor through the high desert. Modern educational expansion is evidenced by the Santa Fe Community College near the Arroyo Hondo.
