Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Preliminary Study of the Waters of the Jemez Plateau, New Mexico Between the Nacimientos and the Cochitis there is a flat mesa or table-land of an altitude of from 7,000 to 8,000 feet. The northern part of this, approximately one-third, is drained by tributaries of the Rio Chama. The southern part is drained by the Jemez river and its tributaries. The Jemez empties into the Rio Grande. It is in this southern part of the plateau that the different groups of springs, whose waters form the subject of study of this paper, are found. Physiography Of The Jemez District. The leading physiographic features of the Jemez district are the mountains, which are characterized by their rounded contours, flat mesa lands cut by numerous canons, and valleys extending along the lower courses of the streams. The whole country shows the effects of having been extremely broken up at some former time. There are few hills in the region, but hogbacks, dikes, escarpments, and fault lines are numerous. As a rule the canons follow the fault lines. Along the lower Course of the Jemez river, after it leaves the protection afforded by the mountains, sand dunes have been piled by the prevailing winds. Mt. Pelado, or "Baldy" as it is commonly called, with an elevation of 11,200 feet, is the culminating point of the plateau. It is a solid mass of porphyry and is situated at the northern end of the Cochiti range and immediately west of the Valle Grande tufa volcanic region.
