The first of these, Santa Cruz, 5 or 6 m. from San Juan, is marked on the map " Village 1200"; in 1846 it had only 300 or 400. It is situated on the Canada near its mouth; higher up on the same are the Chimayo settlements and Potrero. 3. The next, T% m. further, mapped as "Village 600," is Pojoaque or Pojuaque, a Tafioan pueblo situated about 6 m. up Nambe cr. At the mouth of this stream stood and stands another Tafioan pueblo, San Ildefonso; while Nambe, yet another village of the same family, was located on the same creek about 3 m. above Pojoaque. These have all declined during the century, the Indian pop. of Pojoaque being lately given as 20, that of San Ildefonso 148, that of Nambe 79. 3. The next village, " 17 m."further, marked on the map " Village 600," is Tesuque (Tesugue, Zesuqua, etc.), likewise a Taiioan pueblo, now of less than 100 Indians. There appear to have been two establishments of this name, 3 or 4 m. apart, both on a branch of Nambe cr.; the furthest on, falling in best with Pike's 17 m. from Pojoaque, is only some 6 m. from Santa Fe. Between Pojoaque and Tesuque Pike passed by Cuyamanque or Cuyamunge: and he entered Santa Fe from the N., by the site of old Fort Marcy. It should be particularly observed in this place that Pike has two maps of this part of the Rio Grande, which are discrepant in several material respects. One is his Louisiana map, which he runs down to take in the Rio Grande to Santa Fe. On this his trail is dotted as if it were the lower one, hugging the Rio Grande from Santa Cruz past Santa Clara (and Polvaredo) to San Ildefonso, ...
