2017 Map of Laguna

About this map

Laguna and the surrounding Pueblo of Laguna villages are mapped here at the foot of diverse high-desert mesas. The central corridor is defined by the Rio San Jose, which supports agricultural infrastructure like the Paraje Irrigation Ditch and the Casa Blanca Ditch. These water systems connect the settlements of Paraje, Casa Blanca, and New Laguna, tracing a historical path of habitation in a landscape marked by prominent volcanic and sandstone formations. To the north, the terrain rises toward Wheat Mtn and Frog Mesa, while to the south, Casa Blanca Mesa and Bug Mesa overlook the Rio San Jose valley. The map reveals a high density of named landmarks such as Two Feathers Hill and The Indian Peaks, alongside cultural sites like the San Jose Cem and Eckerman Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this region.
