2017 Map of Turquoise Hill

About this map

Turquoise Hill and the Cerrillos Hills dominate the southern landscape of this Santa Fe quadrangle, where high-desert terrain is carved by ephemeral waterways and arroyos. The Santa Fe River and Arroyo Calabasas flow across the north near the Santa Fe Municipal Airport, while the village of La Cienega sits at the confluence of several drainages, including Arroyo Hondo and Cienega Cr. This map illustrates a complex modern interface between the city's expanding infrastructure and its ancient landforms, featuring the Institute of American Indian and Alaska Native Culture and the Penitentiary of New Mexico. The rail legacy of the At&Sf Rr cuts through the center of the sheet, providing a corridor alongside historic water sources like Cieneguilla Spring. From the Caja del Rio Plateau to the southern reaches of Pueblo Cañon, the map documents the region's unique geography of mesas, hills, and named arroyos such as Bonanza Cr and Alamo Cr.
