1972 Map of Arroyo Alamocito

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

La Cinta Ranch sits in the northeast corner of this remote San Miguel County landscape, representative of the long-standing ranching operations that have defined this region for generations. The map reveals the deep, winding path of the Canadian River and Arroyo Alamocito, which carve through the high plains of the Mesas Negras. This 1970s survey captures a transition point in Western land use, showing traditional cattle-country infrastructure like the Sixty-Gallon Windmill and Black Mesa Windmill alongside more modern developments such as the Nix Landing Strip. The intricate network of jeep trails and unimproved roads, including the Frank Trail, highlights how land managers and ranchers navigated the steep elevation drops from the mesas to the canyon floors.
