Sante Fe County: The Heart of New Mexico, Rich in History and Resources (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Sante Fe County: The Heart of New Mexico, Rich in History and Resources
Santa Fe County is the heart of New Mexico, geographically, geologically, ethnologically, climatologically, politically, ecclesias tically and historically. It is an epitome of the Territory, and with in its confines are exemplified the climatological conditions, the in dustrial possibilities, the growth and the development of the entire Southwest. It is an oblong table land, almost seventy miles long from north to south, and thirty miles wide from east to west, at no point less than a mile above the level of the sea and reaching an elevation of almost two and a half miles in Mount Baldy. This tableland s10pes from the northeast to the west and southwest. In its northeastern corner is massed the-terminus of the Sangre de Cristo Range, the Alps of the Southwest. In its southwestern corner rise the Ortiz, the San Pedro and the South Mountains, less massive and less lofty, but very important geologically and mineralogically. This tableland is furrowed by a dozen rivers and scores of periodical streams and arroyos, all tributary to the Rio Grande system, although a massive backbone in the eastern por tion sends some of the waters into the Pecos, Which does not join the Rio Grande until after a course of nine hundred miles. Along these streams are fertile valleys, which attracted the Pueblos, and after them, the white settlers, hundreds of years ago. One third of the area of the county consists of mountains and valleys, the other two-thirds are broad mesas, which furnish excellent range for stock. The settlements are found in the valleys which have been formed by the folds of the mountains or by the rivers eating into the mesas and forming canons, most of them quite narrow.
