How to Use This Agua Fria, New Mexico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Agua Fria, New Mexico. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New Mexico or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Agua Fria.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

ZIP codes: 87710, 87507.Agua Fria reveals itself through the low, sun-bleached expanse of the high desert, where the earth holds the heat of the day long after the shadows lengthen. It lies 53.1 miles northeast of Española, NM (from Española, NM: bearing 55°T), and is situated 15.3 miles east of Taos. Ninemile Creek carves a thin, vital vein through the dust, providing a quiet rhythm to the landscape that remains indifferent to the passing of years. To the east, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise in a jagged, violet silhouette against the horizon, their peaks catching the last of the light while the valley floor slips into gray. The proximity of Carson National Forest offers a cool, forested contrast to the arid plains, and one can sense the transition in the air as the wind shifts from the open scrub toward the ponderosa pines.
Agua Fria maintains a character rooted in the layered history of the region, where the influence of Pueblo, Hispano, and Anglo cultures persists in the quiet architecture and the deliberate pace of the day. Economic life here remains connected to the land, moving in cycles with the chile harvest and the seasonal demands of the high country. Residents look toward the nearby La Jara Canyon or the paths of the Arriba Ski Trail when the heat requires a change in elevation, finding a solitary peace in the rugged terrain. Whether passing the quiet waters of Guajalote Park or navigating the dusty lanes of the village, there is an enduring sense of stillness in Agua Fria, a place where the clarity of the light defines the day more than the clock.

About This Agua Fria Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Agua Fria, New Mexico. Coordinates: 35.661557, -106.014788. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Agua Fria includes the ZIP code (87710, 87507), telephone area code (575, 505), county seat of Colfax County (Raton), and school district assignment (Santa Fe Public Schools).
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
