2013 Map of San Felipe Pueblo

About this map

San Felipe Pueblo occupies the heart of this high-desert landscape where the Rio Grande cuts through the canyonlands and mesas of Sandoval County. The settlement patterns shown here emphasize a deep-rooted reliance on the river, managed through an intricate network of local irrigation infrastructure including the San Felipe E Side Ditch and the Algodones Riverside Drain. To the west, the massive uplift of Santa Ana Mesa dominates the horizon, while the terrain to the east is defined by seasonal washes such as Arroyo Tonque and Arroyo de San Francisco. Further south, the community of Algodones and the area near Angostura sit alongside the river's path, illustrating the historical importance of this corridor for both transit and agriculture in the Rio Grande Valley.
