2002 Map of Tetilla Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Tetilla Peak and the volcanic terrain of the Mesa Del Rio Plateau dominate this high-desert landscape south of Santa Fe. The area is defined by a complex intersection of historic land grants and sovereign lands, including the Caja Del Rio Grant, La Majada Grant, and the Santo Domingo Pueblo Grant. The Santa Fe River carves through the basaltic canyon below La Bajada, a location of immense historical significance for travelers on the Camino Real who had to navigate the steep descent here. Along the eastern edge, the settlement of La Cienega sits near the confluence of Cienega Creek, where springs historically supported agriculture. The transition from the high mesa at Tsinat Mesa down to the Rio Grande valley is marked by industrial activity such as the Cinder Pit and several gravel operations near the I-25 corridor.
