1953 Map of Tesuque

About this map

The Tesuque Pueblo Grant and Nambe Indian Reservation converge in this mid-century topographic record, revealing a landscape defined by traditional land grants and high-desert drainage patterns. The settlement of Tesuque serves as a focal point near the southern boundary, where the Rio Tesuque flows through narrow irrigated corridors. Rural life is anchored by local institutions like the San Diego Ch and the Tesuque Pueblo Day Sch, while the presence of the Tesuque Pueblo Reservoirs highlights the critical role of water management in this arid environment.
