Prepared for the report by W.H. Holmes entitled "Report on the Ancient Ruins...Examined during summers of 1875 & 76". This map was the result of a thorough investigation of the area in the early days of archeological research and would form the starting point for subsequent and more detailed examinations of specific ruins in the years to come. Extends from the New Mexican pueblos of Taos, Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, and Laguna west to show the Hopi Mesas. Locates numerous forts. Good topographical and watershed detail.
