About this map

Jemez Pueblo and Zia Pueblo anchor this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County, where the Jemez River meets the Rio Salado. The confluence of these waterways has long shaped the settlement patterns of the region, evident in the historic irrigation works like the Mexican Ditch and the Zia South Side Canal. The village of San Ysidro serves as a central hub between these tribal lands, accompanied by local landmarks such as the San Ysidro Catholic Cem and Sandoval Cem.

Topographically, the area is defined by massive formations including White Mesa, Red Mesa, and the northern rise of the Sierra Nacimiento. To the west, the protected Ojito Wilderness preserves a corridor of arroyos and canyons. Modern recreation is represented by the White Ridge Bike Trails Trl, while older transportation routes like the Wagon Trail Trl trace more traditional paths across the mesas.
