About this map

The ancient cultural landscape of Nambe Pueblo and the surrounding high-desert valleys are defined by an intricate network of acequias and watercourses. Irrigation lifeblood such as the La Puebla Ditch, Potrero Ditch, and Reservoir Ditch channel water from the Santa Cruz River and Rio Quemado to support local agriculture. The topography is anchored by the presence of Santa Cruz Lake, with several recreational facilities like the Northlake Campground and Overlook Campground along its shores.

Settlement patterns follow the winding paths of State Road 503, connecting historic communities like Chimayo, Potrero, and Cundiyo. The map documents numerous family and local landmarks, from the Cundiyo Cem to the varied scout camps such as Camp Frank Rand Boy Scout Camp and the Boy Scouts of America Chimayo Rest Camp. This 2013 data provides a clear record of the modern rural infrastructure and land management boundaries in this part of Santa Fe County.
