| | Santa Rosa New Mexico - City of Natural Lakes |
 | | Santa Rosa, New Mexico, known as the “City of Natural Lakes,” is called thus due the many natural lakes and streams of the area. |
 | | During the days of early Route 66, after travelers had tired of the long, hot, dusty miles, Santa Rosa became known as a welcome and well-known oasis in the desert. |
 | | Travelers arrived in Santa Rosa to eat, rest, and perform car repairs, if necessary, at the many motels, cafes and service stations that lined the highway. |
