1964 Map of Blue Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The San Mateo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Socorro County, showing the intricate drainage patterns and prominent summits within the Cibola National Forest. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Blue Mountain and Apache Kid Peak, connected by logical passes such as Cyclone Saddle. Numerous water sources, including Hardscrabble Spring, Allen Spring, and Tool Bar Spring, suggest the critical importance of reliable water in this arid upland environment. The presence of a Pack Trail winding through the canyons indicates the historical reliance on animal transport to navigate the steep terrain between Milligan Peak and the surrounding basins. Place names like Holdup Mountain and Skeleton Ridge evoke the frontier character of the region, while the Tonto Basin provides a distinct geographical anchor in the southeastern portion of the survey.
