About this map

The San Felipe Pueblo remains the primary cultural and topographical anchor of this landscape, situated along the east bank of the Rio Grande. The river’s complex hydrologic history is visible through an extensive network of traditional and modern irrigation structures, including the San Felipe E Side Ditch and the Algodones Riverside Drain. This intricate water system supports the lower-lying agricultural lands before the terrain rises sharply into the volcanic basalt of Santa Ana Mesa to the west and the distinctive landform of La Mesita to the north.

Further south, the settlement of Algodones marks a historic transit corridor where El Camino Real and Bowersville Rd intersect the modern highway grid. The map details numerous ephemeral waterways, such as Arroyo Tonque and Arroyo Maria Chavez, which drain the eastern foothills. These arroyos define the rugged local geography, shaping the placement of local routes like Hagen Rd and the various Indian Service Routes that connect the pueblo to the surrounding Sandoval County landscape.
