1953 Map of Cochiti Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

White Rock Canyon dominates this landscape, where the Rio Grande carves through complex geological formations and historical land grants. The terrain is marked by significant cultural history, evidenced by numerous Pueblo Ruins and the notable Painted Cave within Bandelier National Monument. A 1970s photorevision highlights the massive engineering of the Cochiti Dam and the formation of Cochiti Lake, which altered the hydrology of the ancient riverbed. The map also captures the transition between the Santa Fe National Forest and several Spanish-era land grants, including the Cañada de Cochiti Grant and the Pueblo de Cochiti Grant. Deep in the canyons, the site of Bland sits as a point of interest for those tracing the mining and settlement patterns of Sandoval County.
