About this map

Jemez Springs serves as the focal point of this Sandoval County survey, situated deep within the Santa Fe National Forest. The landscape is defined by the thermal activity and hydrological features of the Jemez River corridor, including the distinctive Soda Dam and Jemez Hot Springs. This geological complexity is reflected in the surrounding terrain, where high mesas such as Virgin Mesa, Cat Mesa, and Holiday Mesa are bisected by deep canyons like Cañon de San Diego.

The map details the transition between settlement and protected wilderness, specifically highlighting the East Fork Jemez Wild and Scenic River. Researchers will find local landmarks like the Jemez Springs Catholic Cem and northern settlements at La Cueva. Notable geological formations such as Battleship Rock and the Tent Rocks near Wildcat Canyon provide specific points of interest for those studying the unique volcanic history of this region.
