About this map

Jemez Pueblo and Zia Pueblo define this high-desert landscape in the early 21st century, where human settlement follows the vital lifelines of the Jemez River and Vallecito Creek. The map documents a sophisticated irrigation network essential to this arid region, including the East Side Canal, the Zia South Side Canal, and the Anthony Pecos Ditch. These waterways support local life near landmarks like the Jemez Pueblo Post Office and Indian Springs.

Geological features dominate the central and eastern portions of the quadrangle, notably the expansive Chamisa Mesa and the volcanic-derived peaks of Pico Butte and Cerrito Negro. Industrial activity is localized at the San Ysidro Pit, while the transportation network relies on tribal routes such as Indian Service Route 81 and Indian Service Route 78, which connect these ancestral lands to the surrounding Sandoval County terrain.
