1953 Map of Bland

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Pines (Ghost town) sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, where the jagged topography of the San Miguel Mountains meets the deep incisions of Cochiti Canyon and Medio Dia Canyon. The 1993 revisions highlight a history of extraction and isolation, marking the Cochiti Mining District and the Valla Grande Pumice Mine alongside a series of formerly inhabited sites. This territory is a complex mosaic of land management and ancestral boundaries, spanning the Baca Location No 1, Santa Fe National Forest, and the rugged eastern edge of the Bandelier National Monument. Evidence of old homesteads and mining claims are found at the Evans-Griffin Place, Bruce Place, and the Washington Group, providing a clear record of 20th-century habitation and industry that has since receded into the volcanic mesas.
