1912 Map of Soda Canyon

About this map

Mesa Verde National Park and the surrounding Southern Ute Indian Reservation define this 1912 survey, which documents an incredible concentration of Ancestral Puebloan architectural sites. The landscape is dominated by high mesas like Chapin Mesa and School Section Mesa, separated by deep canyons where legendary sites such as Cliff Palace, Sprucetree House, and Balcony House are precisely plotted. The Mancos River snakes through the central canyon, providing a vital water source in this arid terrain.
