2017 Map of Puye

About this map

San Ildefonso Pueblo sits along the Rio Grande in this 2017 study of the high mesas and canyons of New Mexico. The landscape is defined by massive landforms like Otowi Mesa and Kwage Mesa, separated by a complex network of drainages including Pueblo Canyon and Bayo Canyon. The map reveals the intricate boundaries of the Santa Clara Pueblo Division and the Santa Fe National Forest, showing how modern infrastructure and traditional tribal lands coexist. Cultural and historical points of interest such as Puye and Totavi are linked by a system of Indian Service routes and local roads like Guaje Canyon Rd. The crossing at Otowi Bridge serves as a vital point of transit where the river meets the canyon-cut plateau, marking the convergence of the Rio Arriba and Santa Fe county lines.
