2002 Map of Canada

About this map

Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument stands as a defining landform in this high-desert landscape of Sandoval County, where the erosion of volcanic ash has created iconic cone-shaped formations. This survey captures a complex intersection of land management and cultural history, showing the overlapping boundaries of the Santa Fe National Forest, the Jemez Indian Reservation, and the Pueblo de Cochiti Indian Reservation. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Cochiti Canyon and Peralta Canyon that drain the high mesas. A history of resource extraction is evident at the Pumice Mine and various gravel pits near Canada. Of particular interest to historians is the Albemarle (Site) in the northern reaches, marking the location of a former mining camp, while the Dome Wilderness preserves the higher elevations near Cerro Picacho.
