1953 Map of Bland

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

The Cochiti Mining District anchors the southern half of this map, revealing a landscape defined by both industrial history and deep natural canyons. In the heart of the Santa Fe National Forest, the remains of the Pines (Ghost Town) and the Washington Group mine reflect a bygone era of mineral extraction within the San Miguel Mountains. The rugged terrain is further marked by legacy homesteads like the Evans-Griffin Place (Aband) and Bruce Place (Aband), which suggest the isolation of early ranching and mining life in this corner of the Baca Location No 1. Transitioning from the high meadows of Valle Grande to the intricate networks of Bland Canyon and Capulin Canyon, the map traces the intersection of resource extraction and preservation within the Bandelier National Monument.
