1955 Map of Boulder Lake

About this map

The Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation and the western edge of the Tierra Amarilla Grant dominate this mid-century landscape in Rio Arriba County. Crossing the western half of the sheet, the Continental Divide winds through a high-plateau environment marked by seasonal waterways like Arroyo Chupadero and several significant natural basins. Water management and wildlife conservation are central to the area's character, evidenced by the Burford Lake Wildlife Station situated beside Stinking Lake (Burford Lake).
