1966 Map of Alamo Mesa West

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Alamo Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this high desert region in San Juan County, New Mexico, during the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of erosional drainage channels, most notably Hunter Wash, Willow Wash, and Alamo Wash, which cut through the arid soil. Human activity is marked primarily by resource extraction and infrastructure, evidenced by a large Pipeline traversing the northern sections and scattered industrial markers like a Well and a Drill Hole. This 1966 field-checked survey reveals a sparsely populated area where the economy was likely tied to grazing and emerging energy exploration, captured just as aerial photogrammetry was becoming the standard for documenting these expansive western landscapes.
