1963 Map of Adobe Downs Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Southern Ute Indian Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this San Juan County region, where the high desert terrain is defined by a complex network of glades and arroyos. This 1963 survey, updated with 1978 aerial data, captures the intersection of ranching life and natural resource extraction. Established sites like Adobe Downs Ranch and the Wilson Ranch are surrounded by an infrastructure of small-scale water management, evidenced by features such as Pee Wee Dam, Camel Hump Dam, and Zebra Hills Dam. The reliance on local water sources is further highlighted by Mosley Spring and Coyote Spring. Significant geological features such as Bohanan Canyon and Jaquez Flat are interspersed with numerous gas wells, indicating the burgeoning energy industry of the mid-20th century. The Farmington Glade Road serves as a primary artery through this arid expanse, connecting the various glades and ranching outposts across the Colorado and New Mexico border.
