Strange as it may seem from our modern American perspective, New
Mexico was literally a foreign country until the middle of the
nineteenth century and, as field archaeologist and history
instructor Peter Eidenbach discovered, in the minds of some it
still is. The New Mexico landscape is easy to get lost in and much
of its terrain has not been fully explored in many years. Yet, the
state holds a rich cartographic history not often recognized by the
many people who daily interact with its topography. Approaching
this gap as a teacher and enthusiast, Eidenbach set about compiling
a collection of New Mexico's historic maps, navigating through a
varied terrain of research and discovery, even securing permissions
for colonial-era maps held in special collections with limited
public access. This collection, featuring beautifully rendered
diagrams of New Mexico's landscape, allows exploration of the past
as seen by that past's inhabitants.
