How to Use This Chili, New Mexico Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Chili, 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 Chili.

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.

About Chili, New Mexico

Chili is a locality in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, United States. It is a small community with a population of 541. The population density is 63.6 people per km². Chili is located at 36.1050°N, 106.1497°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 87537.

Chili sits upon a sun-bleached expanse where the high desert air carries a persistent, dry clarity. It lies 8.8 miles north-northwest of Española, NM (from Española, NM: bearing 334°T), and is situated 17.4 miles north-northeast of Los Alamos. The Rio del Oso carves a shallow, rhythmic path through the terrain, its banks sustaining a thin ribbon of greenery against the surrounding sage and scrub. To the distant west, the silhouette of the Jemez Mountains catches the violet bruise of twilight, anchoring a horizon that seems to stretch toward an infinite, cloudless sky. Within the protected boundaries of the Ojo Caliente Area of Critical Environmental Concern, the earth retains a raw, unmanicured character, where the wind shapes the dust into fine, ephemeral patterns across the open ground.

Chili persists as a quiet intersection of land-tethered traditions, deeply influenced by the long-standing agricultural practices of the region. Local life moves in synchronization with the seasons, favoring the deliberate labor of small-scale cultivation that has defined this territory for generations. Those who navigate the nearby Lemitas Trail often find themselves traversing paths that reflect an older, slower pace of movement, far removed from the clamor of modern industry. While Salazar Tank remains a solitary point of hydration for the parched landscape miles away, the daily rhythm of Chili remains anchored to the earth, grounded by the quiet endurance of families who remain stewards of the soil and the silence.
