About this map

Acoma Pueblo and the surrounding high-desert mesas dominate this landscape in western New Mexico. This region is defined by ancient sandstone formations and deep cultural significance, where the Acoma Village sits perched upon a sheer-walled mesa. The cartography traces the intricate drainage patterns of Acoma Cr and the Cañada de Cruz, while highlighting landmarks with evocative names like Deadmans Rock, Eye of the Moon, and Dinosaur Rock.

Notable geological and cultural features include the prominent Mesa Encantada and the Southwest Plaza, indicating a complex history of human settlement within the Acoma Valley. Access to these sites is documented via local routes such as Haaku Rd and Indian Service Route 32. Water sources, essential in this arid environment, are marked at Acoma Springs and Dripping Springs, providing vital context for the placement of historic dwellings and agricultural efforts.
