1964 Map of Alamosa Creek

About this map

Las Mesas Del Conjelon dominates the northern horizon of this mid-century survey, forming a massive elevated plateau that dictates the drainage of the surrounding Mora County landscape. Below these heights, the land breaks into a series of deeply incised canyons, including Cañon Alamito and Cañon Bonito, which channel seasonal water toward the lower plains. The era's ranching footprint is visible through isolated homesteads like Thompson Ranch and Daniels Ranch, positioned near reliable water sources such as Alamosa Creek.
