1966 Map of Pueblo Bonito

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Chaco Canyon National Monument occupies the heart of this mid-1960s survey, revealing a landscape defined by ancestral architecture and high-desert hydrology. The map captures the administrative and archaeological layout of the era, centered on the Pueblo Bonito Ranger Station and the Visitors Center. Surrounding these are the massive masonry complexes of Pueblo Bonito Ruins, Chetro Ketl Ruins, and Pueblo Alto Ruins. The terrain is deeply incised by the Chaco Wash and its tributaries, including Mockingbird Canyon and Fajada Wash, which drain the surrounding plateaus of West Mesa and Chacra Mesa. Evidence of modern inhabitation and tourism appears alongside the ancient, with the Chaco Canyon Trading Post, several Landing Strips, and the Gallo Campground providing essential infrastructure for researchers and visitors exploring the remote San Juan and McKinley County borderlands.
