The City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, also has an interest in the negotiations. The Pojoaque Basin lies north of the City of Santa Fe, and south of the City of Española, New Mexico. U.S. Highway (US) 84/285 runs slightly northwest-southeast through the Basin. New Mexico highway 502 runs west from US 84/285 to Los Alamos, New Mexico, from Pojoaque Pueblo. The FS boundary encompasses approximately 195 square miles, with a combined population in year 2000 of approximately 12,285 persons.
