1952 Map of Abeytas
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Rio Grande valley in Socorro County is defined by a complex irrigation network of drains and laterals that support traditional agricultural settlements. This 1952 survey details the land tenure of several historic land grants, including the Casa Colorada Grant, Belen Grant, and Sevilleta Grant, whose boundaries intersect at the river. Small villages like Abeytas and Las Nutrias are mapped alongside the vital Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line. The map shows the confluence where the Rio Puerco joins the main valley, a landscape shaped by water management features like the San Juan Canal and Belen Riverside Drain. Community life is anchored by local landmarks such as the San Isidro Church and the Abeytas Cemetery, while the New Mexico Boys Ranch appears as a significant modern institutional presence near Pino Draw.
