2020 Map of Youngsville

About this map

Youngsville and Coyote anchor this high-desert landscape in Northern New Mexico, where the valley of the Rio Puerco transitions into the elevated terrain of the Santa Fe National Forest. The map documents a sparse but enduring settlement pattern characterized by small villages and agricultural outposts like El Cerrito and La Joya del Pedregal. Topographically, the area is defined by massive landforms such as Cerro Pedernal and the broad plateau of Banco Largo. The network of Forest and County roads, including Forest Rd 100 and Co Rd 215, highlights the area's dependency on seasonal drainage routes like Rito Encino and Rito de los Sillas. For local history researchers, the Youngsville Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark near the heart of the village, while the surrounding mesas, including Mesa Naranja and Mesa Escoba, illustrate the complex drainage systems and canyons that have shaped the region's human geography.
