About this map

Santo Domingo Pueblo and Cochiti Pueblo anchor this mid-century landscape along the Rio Grande corridor. The map details a complex network of water management essential to the high desert valley, including the Santo Domingo Ditch, the Main Canal, and the Santo Domingo East Side Riverside Drain. These systems supported the agricultural life of the communities, woven between the river and the arid expanses of the La Majada Grant.

Transportation and commerce follow the natural terrain, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line running through the village of Domingo in the southern portion of the sheet. Further north, the settlement of Peña Blanca sits near the confluence of the river and the Santa Fe River, while smaller features like a Cem and School near Sile provide points of interest for those tracing local family history.
