2002 Map of Cochiti Dam

About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate the central canyon corridor of this Sandoval County landscape, where the massive Cochiti Dam creates the reservoir of Cochiti Lake. This region is defined by complex land tenure and protected wilderness, encompassing the Pueblo de Cochiti Grant alongside the Bandalier National Monument and Santa Fe National Forest. The map documents a rugged topography of deeply incised canyons, including Capulin Canyon and Sanchez Canyon, which cut through the volcanic plateaus.
