1890 Map of Jemes

USGS Topo · Published 1890

About this map

Jemes Pueblo and the surrounding high desert mesas of what was then northern Bernalillo County are documented in this 1880s survey led by J.W. Powell. The landscape is dominated by the massive Sierra Nacimiento and deep geological cuts such as Canon de San Diego and Canon Guadalupe. Early industry is marked by the San Miguel Mine near the banks of the Rio Puerco, while seasonal waters and springs like Sulphur Springs and Ojo del Espiritu Santo appear as vital landmarks. The map traces the traditional footprints of San Ysidro, Archuleta, and Silla, showing the relationship between these early New Mexico settlements and the branching waters of Jemes Creek. Topography is detailed at 100-foot intervals, revealing the complex ridges of Sierrita Mesa and the volcanic heights of Pelado.
