1971 Map of Barela

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Barela and its surrounding mesa lands define this high-altitude landscape just north of the New Mexico state line in the early 1970s. The settlement is centered near the Barela Cem and sits along the Colorado and Southern railroad line, serving as a hub in an area dominated by prominent geological features like Barela Mesa and Burro Mesa. The map reveals a specialized local economy and infrastructure, from the Mararski Mine and various Gas Wells to the Raton Ski Basin located near the southern edge of the sheet. Numerous alpine water sources and family-named landmarks are scattered throughout the terrain, including Walton Lake No 1, Dominquez Lake, and Messer Plat Spring. The presence of an Airway Beacon on Burro Mesa and a network of Jeep Trails underscores the combination of traditional ranching or mining access with modern navigational and recreational needs.
