1943 Map of Jemez

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Jemez (Jemez Pueblo P O) sits at the confluence of the Jemez River and Vallecito Creek, serving as a central hub for the surrounding grant lands in the mid-20th century. The landscape is defined by massive plateau features like the Mesa de Guadalupe and Meseta Blanca, intersected by deep canyons such as Virgin Canyon and Cañon de San Diego. This survey captures the region's diverse economic and social activity, from the Spanish Queen Mine and various Pumice Mines to the Elsa Seligman Girl Scout Camp. Cultural and ancestral boundaries are heavily represented through numerous land grants, including the San Jose De Grant, San Juan Grant, and Zia Pueblo Grant. Transportation through the high country is marked by the Bland Bear Springs Trail, while the lower elevations show the development of Lower Vallecitos (Ponderosa P O) near the Arroyo Chamisa.
