I like and frequently use Rand McNally city maps as they are of quite good quality and are generally quite inexpensive. This map (updated in 2006) of Santa Fe and Taos, and also covering Espanola, Las Vegas, and Los Alamos, New Mexico, is generally good, but given the number of separate territories covered is rather chopped up in various panels. The map is useful, but I would have preferred a different scale as the main map of Santa Fe is a bit difficult to read in the confused central part of the city: a downtown inset map of central Santa Fe would have been of great help, certainly of much greater utility than the nearly worthless overview map showing the location of Santa Fe and Taos relative to Albuquerque, which is not very useful for navigation. This map is perfectly serviceable, but not as well-designed as many other Rand McNally city maps, like the excellent map of Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin, for instance. This is still a good bargain, and while I recommend it, it does have room for improvement.

The one Amazon sent was not laminated, just the ordinary paper kind of map, but it did the job.
