About this map

Tesuque Pueblo anchors this Northern New Mexico landscape, where the high desert terrain is carved by the complex drainage of the Rio Tesuque and Rio Nambe. In 2011, this area north of Santa Fe shows a transition from traditional agricultural settlements like Chupadero and En Medio to more modern land uses. The map documents the vital water infrastructure of the Nambe Reservoir and the Nambe Falls Dam, which manage the seasonal flow from the eastern highlands through Nambe Falls.

Geological and industrial markers are scattered throughout the quadrangle, from the natural sandstone formation at Camel Rock to the industrial site of the Kosack Mining Company Mine. The road network, including Tesuque Village Rd and Pacheco Canyon Rd, connects the core community at the Tesuque Post Office to higher elevations like Peña Oscura Hill, illustrating how the valley's settlement patterns remain tightly tied to its arroyos and riverbeds.
