2020 Map of Acoma Pueblo

About this map

Acoma Village stands as the central settlement in this high-desert landscape of Cibola County, where ancient geology and tribal history intersect. The terrain is defined by dramatic sandstone formations and mesas, including the prominent Mesa Encantada and the expansive Woods Mesa. Water sources are vital but sparse in this environment, represented here by Acoma Springs and the seasonal path of Acoma Cr. Landmarks with evocative names such as Eye of the Moon, Dinosaur Rock, and Deadmans Rock serve as distinct navigational points across the territory. The map details a network of indigenous service routes, including Indian Svc Rte 22 and Indian Svc Rte 284, which connect the village to the surrounding valley and mesa tops. This 2020 survey documents the enduring spatial layout of the pueblo and its surrounding natural monuments, from Rabbit Butte in the north to Southwest Plaza and Petoch Butte at the southern edge.
