1954 Map of Bosque Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Manzano Mountains dominate this mid-century landscape, where the high ridges of Bosque Peak and Guadalupe Peak overlook a complex network of historic land grants. Significant portions of the territory are defined by the Isleta Pueblo Grant and the Isleta Indian Reservation (Lo de Padilla Grant), alongside the northern reaches of the Tome Grant. The rugged terrain is carved by numerous deep canyons, including Cañon de los Moyos and Ojito Canyon, which provide natural drainage through the Cibola National Forest. Isolated water sources such as Fourth of July Spring and White Rock Spring appear as critical landmarks for travelers using the Tajique Trail or the Mosca Trail. This survey captures the intersection of three counties—Valencia, Bernalillo, and Torrance—at a time when the area remained primarily a wilderness of ranching and forest management, marked only by scattered windmills and a few vital springs.
