1970 Map of Valle San Antonio

About this map

Valle San Antonio defines this high-elevation landscape within the Santa Fe National Forest, where vast open meadows meet the complex volcanic topography of the Jemez Mountains. The area is characterized by a network of drainage basins, including Valle Seco, Valle Jaramillo, and a portion of the massive Valle Grande. The 1970s marked a period of specialized geological interest here, evidenced by the presence of numerous Geothermal Wells and Geothermal Wells concentrated near Sulphur Springs and along Redondo Creek. These features point to the region's active geothermal history and industrial exploration within the Baca Location No 1 grant. Water is central to the local geography, with San Antonio Creek winding through the meadows and several high-altitude Springs providing vital resources for the scattered Cabins and Corral sites located throughout the canyons and vales.
