1953 Map of San Juan Pueblo

About this map

The confluence of the Rio Grande and Rio Chama defines this cultural landscape in northern New Mexico, where centuries of habitation are marked by Spanish land grants and indigenous pueblo lands. The site of Old San Juan First Spanish Capitol 1598 stands near the heart of San Juan Pueblo, surrounded by a network of traditional irrigation features including the San Juan Pueblo Ditch and Vigil Ditch. Numerous religious landmarks dot the valley, from Capilla de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in the north to Capilla de San Jose near Hernandez.
