1952 Map of Jemez

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

San Juan Mesa and the surrounding high canyon country dominate this 1952 culture revision, which details a landscape defined by ancestral lands and early mid-century resource extraction. The map reveals the intricate network of the Santa Fe National Forest, where the Spanish Queen Mine and various Pumice Mines indicate the area's geological industry. Settlement centers on Jemez and Lower Vallecitos, with the Zia Pueblo Grant and Jemez Pueblo Grant marking deep historical ties to the land. Cultural sites such as the Elza Seligman Girl Scout Camp appear alongside numerous unidentified ruins, suggesting a long continuity of human presence from ancient times to the postwar era. The rugged geography is further defined by the Jemez River and the Bland Bear Springs Trail, which crosses through the Cochiti Grant toward the high peaks.
