1969 Map of Holy Ghost Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Jemez Indian Reservation and Zia Indian Reservation converge in this high-desert landscape of Sandoval County, where the topography is defined by complex arroyo systems and the perennial flows of the Rio Puerco and Rio Salado. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade winding through the western portion of the map provides a tangible link to former industrial transport routes, while an Aqueduct and San Luis Tank near the southern boundary point to the essential water infrastructure of the era. Genealogists and local historians may find interest in the isolated Grave located north of the Holy Ghost Spring, a landmark which also lends its name to the nearby Holy Ghost Campground. The abundance of specialized water sources, including Soda Spring, Warm Springs, and the Chamisa Vega Falls Spring, highlights a landscape where mineral-rich water sources were central to the area's character and use.
