1966 Map of Alamo Mesa East

About this map

Alamo Mesa dominates this mid-1960s landscape, defined by a network of drainage systems including Hunter Wash and Willow Wash in the northern reaches. The area is characterized by the stark topography of Flats and the distinctively named Split Lip to the south. Human activity in this San Juan County region is sparse but evident through industrial and transit markers. A Pipeline cuts across the northeastern corner, and scattered Drill Holes suggest mineral or resource exploration during this era. Movement through the arid terrain relied on a minimal network of primitive routes, labeled as Jeep Trails and standard Trails, which navigate the complex breaks and washes like Alamo Wash and the winding De-na-zin Wash.
