2013 Map of Santa Ana Pueblo

About this map

Santa Ana Pueblo and the neighboring Canjillon Pueblo occupy the high ground overlooking the confluence of northern New Mexico's major waterways. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation of Santa Ana Mesa, which rises sharply between the Jemez River corridor and the broad valley of the Rio Grande. This 2013 survey documents the modern infrastructure supporting these communities, including Indian Service Route 76 and the access provided by Jemez Dam Rd. To the south, the Jemez Canyon Reservoir marks a significant hydrological feature where the river is managed before it joins the larger Rio Grande system. Near the southeastern corner, the settlement of Algodones sits at a critical junction of transport and water, reflecting the area's long-standing reliance on the fertile river plains and the strategic topography of the surrounding mesas.
