1972 Map of Abo

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Abo State Monument (Ruins) anchors this portion of Torrance County, documenting a site where ancient Puebloan and Spanish history intersect. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a prominent path through the center of the sheet, crossing Arroyo Abo as it winds through the arid terrain. This 1970s survey illustrates a landscape defined by ranching and resource infrastructure, evidenced by named water improvements like Chilton Tank, Squatty Tank, and East Latigo Tank. The eastern margins reach into the Cibola National Forest, where deep drainage systems like Goat Canyon and Cañon Deer dominate the topography. Sparse settlement around Abo is supplemented by industrial markers like a Gravel Pit and a regional Pipeline, showing how modern utility corridors followed the older paths of the canyon floor.
