1987 Map of Agua Fria Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The high northern New Mexico terrain of the Beaubien and Miranda (Maxwell) land grant dominates this 1980s landscape, where elevations crest at Agua Fria Peak. The northeastern corner of the map includes a portion of the Philmont Scout Ranch, a site of significant cultural and recreational importance in Colfax County. The hydrology of the area is defined by numerous drainage systems and high-country water bodies, including Cieneguilla Creek, which winds through the Valley of the Utes, and the headwaters of Wheaten Creek. Topographical landmarks like Spruce Hill, Salt House Ridge, and Willys Tip provide specific points of orientation within this complex geography. Along the southern boundary near the Mora line, the map details the expansive Ocate Mesa and the distinctively named Laguna Salada. This survey documents the area's transition from the cattle-range legacy of the Maxwell Grant to its modern identification with outdoor scouting and conservation.
