How to Use This Cuartelez, New Mexico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Cuartelez, 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 Cuartelez.
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 Cuartelez, New Mexico
Cuartelez is a locality in Santa Fe County, New Mexico, United States. It is a small community with a population of 455. The population density is 128.5 people per km². Cuartelez is located at 35.9929°N, 106.0196°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 87567.Cuartelez occupies a quiet stretch of high desert terrain where the earth holds the heat of the afternoon long after the sun begins its descent. It lies 3.4 miles east of Española, NM (from Española, NM: bearing 88°T), and is situated 4.2 miles northeast of La Mesilla. The landscape is defined by the Sombrillo Area of Critical Environmental Concern, which encompasses the immediate surroundings and anchors the land in a state of protected, rugged persistence. To the west, the deep indentation of Santa Clara Canyon breaks the horizon, while the Santa Cruz River flows a mere mile away, carving a thin, verdant vein through the otherwise arid expanse. In the distance, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains rise in a jagged, violet silhouette, their summits catching the fading light and casting long, cooling shadows across the sagebrush and dry, sun-bleached soil.
History in Cuartelez persists in the quiet labor of the land and the endurance of traditions that have outlived the shifting tides of the regional economy. Agriculture remains a central thread here, with small-scale farming and the seasonal rhythm of the chile harvest dictating the pace of the days. Residents often look toward the higher elevations, where the Sierra Mosca Trail offers a path toward the Sierra Mosca Trick Tank, a vital point of water in an unforgiving climate. The character of Cuartelez is quiet and pragmatic, shaped by the confluence of Pueblo and Hispano influences that prioritize connection to the soil over the clamor of modern industry. Here, the air is thin and sharp, carrying the scent of dry earth and the distant, cooling promise of the high peaks.

About This Cuartelez Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Cuartelez, New Mexico. Coordinates: 35.9929, -106.0196. 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 Cuartelez includes the ZIP code (87567), telephone area code (505), county seat of Santa Fe County (Santa Fe), and school district assignment (Española Municipal 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.
