About this map

Cochiti Dam anchors this landscape at the southern end of Cochiti Lake, where the waters are held back at the mouth of White Rock Canyon. This 2017 survey details the complex interface of federal lands, showing where the Bandelier National Monument meets the Santa Fe National Forest amidst a labyrinth of drainage systems. The map traces significant topographic features such as the Caja del Rio Plateau to the east and the high point of St Peter's Dome in the northwest.

Residential and service infrastructure around the lake is documented through streets like Hoochaneetsa Blvd and Barranca Dr, alongside the prominent Dam Crest Rd. Numerous deeply incised canyons define the terrain, including Sanchez Canyon, Medio Canyon, and Cochiti Canyon, illustrating the dramatic erosional patterns that characterize this part of Sandoval County. The network of forest and Indian service routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 90, provides a clear view of modern access to these traditional lands.
