About this map

Jemez Springs serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated along the Jemez River where canyon walls and geothermal activity shape the landscape. The village contains essential local landmarks including the Jemez Springs Post Office and the Jemez Springs Catholic Cemetery, reflecting a community deeply tied to its geography. The area is notable for its hydrothermal features, such as the Soda Dam, Soda Dam Springs, and the well-known Jemez Hot Springs.

Beyond the settlement, the map documents a history of land use and cultural heritage. The Astialkwa Archaeological District points to ancient habitation, while the La Plata Placer and NE Soda Dam Prospect indicate local mining and prospecting interests. The terrain is characterized by high mesas, including Virgin Mesa and Cebollita Mesa, which overlook a network of campgrounds and picnic areas such as La Cueva Campground and Dark Canyon Picnic Ground.
