How to Use This Los Cerrillos, New Mexico Map

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

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.

Los Cerrillos emerges from the high desert floor as a collection of sun-bleached adobe forms that seem to have grown directly from the mineral-rich earth. It lies 20.2 miles south-southwest of Santa Fe, NM (from Santa Fe, NM: bearing 211°T), and is situated 8.7 miles south of La Cienega. The San Marcos Arroyo cuts a jagged, sandy path through the landscape, its dry bed carving a silence that defines the surrounding basin. To the west, the distant Sandia Mountains anchor the horizon, their jagged crests catching the violet hues of a fading sun that turns the dust of the plains into a fine, suspended gold. Within the boundaries of Cerrillos Hills Historic Park, the terrain rises into broken, scrub-covered ridges, where the air remains thin and crisp, carrying the sharp, resinous scent of sagebrush and dry stone.

Mining history lingers in the deep, dormant shafts that pockmark the hills, a legacy of the silver and turquoise rushes that once drew prospectors to this rugged expanse. Los Cerrillos maintains a quiet, deliberate pace, far removed from the industry of larger centers, where the local economy shifts between the preservation of its storied trails and the slow, steady rhythm of artisanal trade. Beyond the immediate reach of the Cerrillos Reservoir, the land retains its ancient, austere character, indifferent to the passage of decades. Life here moves in accordance with the shifting intensity of the light, which clarifies the edges of the crumbling wood fences and weathered stone walls, grounding the observer in a place where the earth itself feels heavy with the weight of time.

About This Los Cerrillos Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Los Cerrillos, New Mexico. Coordinates: 35.427201, -106.121172. 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 Los Cerrillos includes the ZIP code (87010), telephone area code (505), county seat of Santa Fe County (Santa Fe), 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.
