2011 Map of Tetilla Peak

About this map

Tetilla Peak and the volcanic landforms of Las Tetillitas dominate this high-desert landscape south of Santa Fe in the early twenty-first century. The arid terrain is bisected by the Santa Fe River, which flows through the Cañada de Santa Fe past the small settlements of La Bajada and La Majada. This area shows a long history of mineral exploration and land use, evidenced by numerous mining operations such as the Lone Star Mine, La Bajada Mine, and the Evelyn Mine located near Cerro Bonanza. The map captures the junction of traditional communities and modern infrastructure, where the La-Bajada Interchange connects local routes to the broader region. Local history is further grounded by the La Bajada Cemetery and the presence of agricultural water features like the Section 28 Tank.
