1963 Map of Aurora

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Gonzales Ranch sits at the northern edge of this high-plateau landscape, serving as a hub for local life with the Santa Teresita Ch and the Gonzales Ranch Sch. The topography is defined by the massive Mesa Sola and deep incisions of the Cañon Blanco, illustrating a territory where ranching and water management were central to survival. Further south, the settlement of Aurora is situated near the Arroyo Guajalote, surrounded by family-named landmarks such as the Pablo Sena Ranch and Benevides Ranch. These sites, along with isolated improvements like Bustos Well and Laguna Seca, reveal how early New Mexico inhabitants adapted to the arid environment by utilizing natural depressions and arroyos. The map also shows a portion of the Santa Fe Nat For, marking the transition from open grazing lands to protected timber country.
