1961 Map of Blue Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Acoma Indian Reservation and the adjacent Acoma Purchase dominate this mid-century survey of the high mesa country. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the massive Cebollita Mesa and the deep incisions of Acoma Canyon and Cañon Largo. Water is the critical factor in this arid environment, marked by isolated points such as Spider Spring, Butterfly Spring, and the small Indian Lake.
