About this map

The Rio San Jose winds through a high-desert landscape defined by mesas and established Pueblo settlements in this 2020 topographic record. The central corridor is anchored by Laguna, New Laguna, Paraje, and Casa Blanca, reflecting a clustered habitation pattern tied to the valley floor and modern transit routes. This area is characterized by significant topographic relief, where features like Paraje Mesa and Casa Blanca Mesa rise abruptly from the surrounding plains.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial grounds noted, including Paraje Cem, Eckerman Cem, and San Jose Cem. The map documents a dense network of Bureau of Indian Affairs routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 40 and Indian Svc Rte 50, alongside the legacy path of Old Route 66 Rd. Natural water sources, while sparse, are clearly identified at Lady Lake and Casa Blanca Spring, which historically supported life in this arid region of Cibola County.
