2002 Map of Puye

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Puya Cliff Dwellings stands as a significant National Historic Monument at the northern edge of this New Mexico landscape, overlooking a series of dramatic finger mesas and deep canyons. The map documents a complex intersection of tribal and federal lands, including the Santa Clara Indian Reservation and San Ildefonso Indian Reservation, bordering the Santa Fe National Forest. This 2002 revision provides a look at the infrastructure of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, situated on high plateaus like Otowi Mesa and Kwage Mesa. The eastern edge is defined by the Rio Grande, where the settlement of Otowi and the junction at Totavi connect the river valley to the laboratory facilities above. Numerous drainages such as Guaje Canyon and Pueblo Canyon cut through the volcanic tuff, illustrating the unique topography that dictated the layout of both ancient dwellings and modern scientific research centers.
