1963 Map of Arroyo Chijuillita

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape of northwestern New Mexico, where dramatic mesa tops meet complex drainage systems. The northern portion of the map is defined by the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation Boundary, while the eastern terrain is dominated by the broad expanse of Mesa De Cuba. This mid-century survey reveals an extensive water management network designed for the arid environment, featuring numerous numbered structures like Retention Dam No 164 and Retention Dam No 4 situated along the seasonal watercourses. Natural water sources are also identified, including Pine Spring and another unnamed Spring. Human activity is concentrated around infrastructure such as the Cuba Landing Strip and a Gravel Pit, providing a detailed view of land use within the Santa Fe National Forest during the 1960s.
