USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Nicolas Duran De Chavez Grant and Belen Grant define the land divisions in this 1952 topographic study of the Valencia region. The landscape is characterized by the meandering path of the Rio Puerco and the prominent Monte Belen, reflecting a high-desert environment where water management was central to local survival. Strategically placed infrastructure, including the Guzman Reservoir, Metate Reservoir, and Escondido Reservoir, highlights the efforts to sustain the area's grazing and ranching economy.
