1966 Map of Bull Canyon

About this map

The archaeological remains of Pueblo San Cristobal (Ruins) lie at the heart of this landscape, situated along the Arroyo de San Cristobal in the southern portion of the quadrangle. This 1966 field-checked survey reveals a territory defined by complex drainage systems and traditional ranching infrastructure. Ranching life is evident through the presence of the Bar S Ranch and several watering points like Ojo de la Vaca and Isaque Tank, essential features for livestock in this high-mesa environment. The northern reaches are dominated by the Piedra Lumbre and the headwaters of Amy Creek, while the southern border is anchored by the prominent Pine Mesa. Local heritage is further marked by the San Miguelito Cem, providing a focal point for family history and historical settlement patterns in this part of Santa Fe County.
