About this map

Santo Domingo Pueblo and Cochiti Pueblo anchor this study of the Rio Grande valley at the turn of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the complex borders of several land grants, including the Pueblo de Cochiti Grant and the La Majada Grant, which intersect with the Santa Fe National Forest. Water management is central to the area's geography, visible in the expanse of Cochiti Lake and the network of diversion dams along the Rio Grande.

Local settlements like Peña Blanca and Sile are situated along the river's fertile corridor, while the community of Domingo lies further south near Galisteo Creek. The map details essential local infrastructure from the Cochiti Middle and Elementary Sch to several gravel pits, reflecting the ongoing utility and habitation of these ancestral lands. High desert terrain such as La Majada Mesa and Peralta Canyon provides a dramatic backdrop to the river valley's irrigation and transport routes.
