About this map

Santa Ana Pueblo sits at the western edge of this Sandoval County landscape, where the Jemez River flows toward its confluence with the Rio Grande. The dominant topographic feature is the massive Santa Ana Mesa, which rises sharply to the north and east of the pueblo. The central portion of the map is defined by the Jemez Canyon Reservoir, a significant water body formed behind the dam near James Dam Rd.

Modern infrastructure is represented by several Indian Service Routes, including Indian Svc Rte 76 and Indian Svc Rte 74, which traverse the desert terrain and mesa slopes. The cartography reveals a transition from the lower riparian zones along the river to the high, flat-topped volcanic surfaces of the mesa, illustrating the traditional geographic setting of the pueblo in relation to the regional water system and upland landforms.
