2020 Map of Santo Domingo Pueblo SW

About this map

Santa Ana Mesa dominates the western landscape of this Sandoval County region, where the high desert terrain meets the vital agricultural corridor of the Rio Grande. The intricate water management systems essential to the area's history are clearly mapped, including the Sile Main Canal, Santo Domingo Ditch, and the complex drainage network of the Santo Domingo W Side Drain and Santo Domingo E Side-Riverside Drain. This modern 2020 survey illustrates how local infrastructure follows the natural contours of the land, with Indian Svc Rte 85 and Indian Svc Rte 89 providing access through the varied topography of Borrego Canyon and Peralta Canyon. The arrangement of these roads and canals reflects centuries of adaptation to the arid environment, serving as a primary record of land use and water rights near the Rio Grande.
