[14] SANTA CLARA WEST SHEET 



The central feature of this sheet (map l-t) is Santa Clara Creek 

 [14:-2-l]. Roughly speaking, the area of the sheet proper was claimed 

 by the Santa Clara people, and a large percentage of the places included 

 in this area have names which are known to the Santa Clara Indians 

 only. 



s'anta Clara Pueblo [14:71] is shown, also the important Mexican 

 and American settlement of Espaiiola [14:16], and a number of pueblo 

 ruins which are claimed by the Tewa and in some cases rather defi- 

 nitely by the Santa Claras as the homes of their ancestors. 



The. Santa Claras claim also considerable territory east of the Rio 

 Grande; see sheet [15].
