1984 Map of White Rock

About this map

Bandelier National Monument and the Sacred Area dominate the northwestern landscape, preserving a concentration of ancestral sites such as Duchess Castle (Ruins), Tsankawi Ruins, and the Navawi Ruins. This 1984 survey documents the expanding residential footprints of White Rock and Pajarito Acres perched above the deep gorge of White Rock Canyon. The Rio Grande flows through the center, feeding into the northern reaches of the Cochiti Reservoir. Local infrastructure of the era is marked by institutions like Chamisa Sch and Pinon Sch, while the Caja Del Rio Plateau to the east remains largely open, crisscrossed by a Jeep Trail and the visible path of an Old Railroad Grade near Buckman. This map captures the juxtaposition of modern scientific-community expansion alongside deeply significant archaeological landscapes.
