The Jemez Springs History Project

The geographical scope of this historical archive is roughly the southwestern part of the Jemez Mountains: bounded on the north by Fenton Lake, Seven Springs, and Hwy. 126; on the east by the Valles Caldera; on the south by the Village of San Ysidro; on the west by the Nacimiento Mountains and the Village of Cuba. While Los Alamos and the Pajarito Plateau are important in the area’s history, that part of the Jemez is well-served by other online resources. This map in a Circle K ad from the Sandoval County Review, September 4, 1978, illustrates roughly the area covered in this history.

Members of two pioneer families at the Routledge cabin in the mountains: Bettie, Dorothy, and Ethel Routledge; Alice, Stewart, Mac, Jessie and Bobbie Fenton; Joseph E. Routledge; Charlie Fenton.

The Jemez Valley History project was started in 2015 and funded in part by the Friends of the Library. Content is written and edited by Judith Isaacs, a volunteer, and Amanda Lewis, a library assistant. Janet Phillips, Library Director is the overall coordinator.
