About this map

Puye Cliff Dwellings and the Cliff Dwellings Indian Ruins anchor this 1952 topographic study, showcasing the ancient and modern Puebloan heritage across the Pajarito Plateau. The landscape is dominated by the deeply incised Santa Clara Canyon and Bayo Canyon, where the drainage patterns of Santa Clara Creek and Guaje Creek flow toward the Rio Grande. Industrial activity is evident in the mid-century extraction at the General Pumice Mine and a Pumice Mine (Aband), highlighting the area's volcanic geology.
