About this map

Monjeau Lookout stands as a prominent sentinel over this high-altitude landscape in Lincoln County, where the topography is defined by the drainage of the Rio Bonito and Eagle Creek. This 2011 survey captures a mix of longstanding ranching interests like Loma Grande Ranch and Lamay Ranch alongside expanding residential enclaves such as Sun Valley and Sierra Vista. The map documents a legacy of resource extraction through numerous claims and prospects, including the Silver Plume Mine and Mayberry Mine, which punctuate the numerous canyons.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the infrastructure of Bonito Dam and the Alto Lake Dam. Local community life is centered around the Alto Post Office and the unique cluster at Alpine Cellars Village. For researchers, the map provides a detailed record of the intersection between forest service lands, private holdings, and the evolving road network including Old Fort Stanton Rd.
