1953 Map of San Juan Pueblo

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Rio Chama and Rio Grande converge in this northern New Mexico landscape, shaping a corridor of historical land grants and traditional agriculture in the early 1950s. The complex system of communal lands is documented through the San Juan Pueblo Grant, Lobato Grant, and Sebastian Martin Grant, illustrating the region's deep-rooted Spanish and Puebloan heritage. Along the riverbanks, small settlements like Hernandez and Chili are connected by a network of acequias, labeled here as Ditch, which have long sustained local farming. Spiritual life is centered at sites such as San Antonio Church and the Immaculate Conception Ch. Traces of earlier transportation appear via the Old Railroad Grade, while the rugged geography is marked by landmarks like Vallito Peak and the dark silhouette of Black Mesa. The presence of the Torreon Indian Shop and various Cem (cemeteries) provides specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
