About this map

Santa Fe National Forest landscapes define this area of New Mexico, where the Jemez River carves through deep canyons and high mesas. The village of Jemez Springs serves as the primary hub along the canyon floor, situated near the Via Coeli Monastery and a State Monument. This region is notable for its hydrothermal activity, including the distinctive Soda Dam and numerous Hot Springs that dot the river corridor.

Upland features such as Schoolhouse Mesa and Stable Mesa flank the canyons, while several historical sites, including numerous Ruins, are scattered across the terrain. Public land management is evident through the presence of the Jemez Ranger Station and La Cueva Guard Station. These labels and boundaries reflect a mid-century balance of forest service administration, religious retreat, and the early stages of canyon-focused recreation near La Cueva.
