About this map

Jemez Springs serves as the focal point of this 1970 landscape, where the Jemez River carves deeply through the canyon floor. The map highlights a community defined by its natural thermal activity and religious landmarks, notably the Via Coeli Monastery and nearby Hot Springs. High mesas like Mesa Cebollita and San Juan Mesa overlook the valley, revealing a terrain utilized for recreation and resource management by the Santa Fe National Forest.

Tracing the waterways and trails reveals numerous archaeological and historical sites, including various Ruins scattered across the canyon walls and the prominent Soda Dam formation. From the La Cueva Guard Sta in the north to the Jemez Springs Cem in the heart of the village, the sheet captures the unique geography of the Jemez Mountains. Notable landmarks like Battleship Rock and the Padre Alonzo Trail illustrate the intersection of traditional travel routes and geologic curiosities.
