About this map

Santa Ana Pueblo sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along the northern bank of the Jemez River. The map illustrates a complex intersection of land tenure systems, showing the Santa Ana Pueblo Grant, the San Felipe Indian Reservation (Santa Rosa De Cubero Grant), and the Angostura Grant. This era reflects significant mid-century water management infrastructure, most notably the Jemez Canyon Dam with its associated Spillway and Stilling Basin.

Industrial activity is evident through a Strip Mine and Gravel Pit, while transportation history is preserved in the form of an Old Railroad Grade running parallel to the river. Further east, the Rio Grande cuts through the southeastern corner of the quadrangle, with a Tunnel and Gaging Station marking its course. The terrain is characterized by a prominent Mesa and various Jeep Trails that traverse the open land between these major watercourses.
