About this map

The Cochiti Mining District dominates the southern canyons of this terrain, centering on the settlement of Bland. This area is densely packed with historical claims and operations, including the Washington Mine, Crown Point Mine, and the Mogul Group. These industrial sites are carved into a landscape of dramatic mesas and ridges such as Cochiti Mesa and Crager Ridge.

Further north, the extraction of volcanic resources is evidenced by the Valle Grande Pumice Mine near Rabbit Mountain. Water sources like the East Fork Jemez River and Rito de los Frijoles cut through the high country, providing drainage for the intricate network of canyons. From the remote outpost at Tent Rock Ranch to the scattered prospects like the Tip Top Lode and King Tut, the map illustrates a region defined by its geological wealth and the rugged infrastructure required to reach it.
