2013 Map of Pueblo Bonito

About this map

Pueblo Bonito and Chetro Kettle sit at the heart of this survey of the San Juan and McKinley county borderlands. The landscape is defined by the canyon-and-mesa topography of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park, where the Chaco Wash and its tributaries like Escavada Wash have carved deep drainages. The map captures archaeological sites and local landmarks including Heshoda Bitsulliya and Putnam, alongside the Chaco Canyon Trading Post. Significant vertical relief is mapped through named features like Fajada Butte and the extensive Chacra Mesa. Transport and access are limited to remote routes such as Indian Service Route 45E and CO Road 7950, reflecting the protected and isolated nature of these ancestral lands in the high desert of the Eastern Navajo Agency.
