1953 Map of Santo Domingo Pueblo SW

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor in Sandoval County defines this landscape, where complex irrigation systems trace the ancient and modern agricultural history of the Pueblo lands. This 1953 survey, updated with 1990 aerial data, reveals the extensive water management network of the Santo Domingo Pueblo Grant, including the Santo Domingo Main Canal and the Santo Domingo East Side Ditch. The geography is marked by significant drainages such as Cañon Santo Domingo and Cañon Borrego that cut through the high Mesa terrain.
