How to Use This East Pecos, New Mexico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for East Pecos, 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 East Pecos.
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 East Pecos, New Mexico
East Pecos is a locality in San Miguel County, New Mexico, United States. It is a small community with a population of 660. The population density is 70.8 people per km². East Pecos is located at 35.5766°N, 105.6500°W. It observes the Mountain Time (America/Denver) timezone. ZIP code: 87552.East Pecos emerges from the high desert floor where the Pecos River carves a persistent path through the rugged terrain. It lies 17.3 miles east-southeast of Santa Fe, NM (from Santa Fe, NM: bearing 117°T), and is situated 15.6 miles east-northeast of Eldorado at Santa Fe. The air here holds a crisp, dry clarity that sharpens the edges of the distant Sangre de Cristo Mountains, leaving them painted in shades of violet against the horizon. To the west, the landscape rises into the timbered slopes of the Santa Fe National Forest, where the scent of ponderosa pine drifts down from the Pecos Ranger District to meet the sagebrush. The geological drama of Alamitos Canyon defines the local topography, offering a deep, shadowed corridor that contrasts with the expansive, sun-bleached plains surrounding the riverbed.
Economic life in East Pecos maintains a quiet continuity, rooted in a history that honors the convergence of Hispano and Anglo traditions. The proximity to the Santa Fe National Historic Trail serves as a constant reminder of the migration and trade that once defined this corridor, leaving behind a legacy of endurance that persists in the slow, deliberate pace of daily work. While those seeking recreation might travel twenty-one miles to the waters of Big Tank, the residents remain tethered to the rhythmic demands of the land and the seasonal cycles of the harvest. East Pecos carries itself with a steady, unadorned grace, favoring the utility of its soil and the enduring strength of its cultural foundations over the fleeting distractions of modern sprawl.

About This East Pecos Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of East Pecos, New Mexico. Coordinates: 35.576552, -105.649963. 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 East Pecos includes the ZIP code (87552), telephone area code (505), county seat of San Miguel County (Las Vegas), and school district assignment (Pecos Independent 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.
