About this map

Zia Pueblo Indian Reservation and Santa Ana Pueblo Indian Reservation converge in this arid landscape, where the Jemez River carves a path through the sandstone terrain. The land is defined by drainage systems such as Arenoso Arroyo and Ojito Arroyo, which cut across the high desert flats. To the east, a cluster of Sand Dunes stands near the riverbank, indicating the active shifting of sediments in this drainage basin.

Transportation and utility networks trace the development of the region, specifically an Old Railroad Grade and several buried Pipelines that parallel the river. Local landmarks like the Jemez Windmill and a Water Tank point to the critical infrastructure needed for water management on these tribal lands. Industrial activity is represented by a small Gravel Pit, while the presence of a Grant Boundary marks the formal divisions of historical land ownership.
