2010 Map of Laguna

About this map

Laguna and its neighboring settlements form a cultural and geographic corridor along the Rio San Jose in the early 21st century. The map documents the intricate network of tribal infrastructure, including numerous Indian Service Routes that connect Encinal in the north to the larger communities of Paraje, Casa Blanca, and New Laguna. This 2010 survey highlights the importance of water management in this arid landscape through the presence of the Paraje Irrigation Ditch and Casa Blanca Ditch. Genealogists will find several burial grounds noted, such as the Paraje Cemetery, Eckerman Cemetery, and San Jose Cemetery. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features like The Indian Peaks, Seama Mesa, and Frog Mesa, while industrial land use is evidenced by the Bentonite Deposit and the Transwestern Pipeline Number 6 Airport.
