1943 Map of Jemez

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Jemez Pueblo and the Sia Pueblo anchor this high-desert landscape, where deep canyons like San Diego Canyon and Virgin Canyon carve through the mesas of the Santa Fe National Forest. The map records a complex overlay of land history, from numerous unidentified Ruins dotting San Juan Mesa to the industrial presence of the Spanish Queen Mine. In the northern reaches, the Paliza CCC Camp sits along the Rio Vallecitos, a reminder of New Deal-era infrastructure within the canyon systems. Transport is defined by the canyon floors, following the Jemez River and the route of the Northwestern Pacific RR (Abandoned), which once connected these isolated settlements. Settlements such as Lower Vallecitos and the village of Jemez provide critical points of reference for genealogists and historians tracing the settlement patterns of Sandoval County during the late 1930s.
