[18] BLACK MESA SHEET 



This sheet (map IS) shows the Black Mesa north of San Ildefonso 

 Pueblo and some of the hill country about the Black Mesa. Besides 

 the ruins of temporary structures on the mesa, only one pueblo ruin 

 is represented on the sheet proper; this is [18:9], which is perhaps in- 

 correctly placed. The entire region shown east of the Rio Grande is 

 claimed by the San Ildefonso Indians and most of the place-names are 

 known only to them.
