1967 Map of Adams Diggings

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Adams Diggings lies at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide curves through the central hills. The 1960s terrain is characterized by a network of named draws and canyons, including Wyche Canyon and Nations Draw, which cut through the prominent Mariano Mesa. Traces of earlier habitation are evident at Indian Ruins near Techado Flat, while the mid-century ranching economy is represented by a high density of named wells and water sources like Preacher Well, Lee Wright Well, and Techado Spring. The map documents a sparsely populated region of Catron County where transportation was defined by unpaved routes such as Graveyard Road and Omega Road. Distinctive landmarks like Toms Rock and the remote Forest Hill Cem provide specific points of interest for those studying the local history of this rugged New Mexico interior.
