2002 Map of Jemez Springs

About this map

Jemez Springs serves as the focal point of this 2002 revision, situated within the steep confines of San Diego Canyon. The landscape is defined by the massive volcanic geography of the Santa Fe National Forest, where high plateaus like Schoolhouse Mesa and San Juan Mesa overlook the deep drainage of the Jemez River. Geologic and historical points of interest are abundant along the river corridor, including the travertine formation of the Soda Dam, the towering Battleship Rock, and the State Monument marking the area's deep history. Settlement is concentrated in the canyon floor, where a Post Office and Jemez Ranger Station support the local community. To the north, Fenton Lake State Park and the settlement of La Cueva mark the transition toward higher elevations and the numerous thermal features such as Spence Hot Sprs.
