1983 Map of Brazos Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Tierra Amarilla Grant dominates this 1983 topographic survey, representing a significant historical land division in Northern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by massive geological formations, notably the high-elevation Brazos Peak and the sheer verticality of the Brazos Cliffs. Waterways such as Park Poso Creek, Little Poso Creek, and Chavez Creek drain the high mesas, cutting through canyons like Nestor Canyon and Daggett Canyon. The presence of Sugar Loaf Lake and Hidden Lake suggests a complex drainage system across the alpine terrain. This map provides a clear record of the area's geography and land boundaries before the turn of the 21st century, showing the transition from meadows like Brazos Meadows to the high plateaus of Brazos Mesa and Grouse Mesa.
