1953 Map of Agua Fria

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Santa Fe River canyon walls and high mesas define the landscape of this high-desert region in the mid-1950s. The historic El Camino Real and the Pan American Highway cut through the terrain, connecting ancient routes with modern mid-century infrastructure. Small settlements such as Agua Fria and La Cienega are shown alongside spiritual landmarks like St Joseph Ch and Cieneguilla Ch. Evidence of the area's ancient history is found at the Tsinat Ruins on Tsinat Mesa, while its industrial and commercial character is revealed through the Pumice Mine, the Marshal Bonanza (Inactive) Mine, and the Turquoise Trading Post. The shift in aviation history is also documented by the presence of both the Santa Fe Municipal Airport and the Santa Fe Old Municipal Airport.
