1964 Map of Broom Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Laguna Indian Reservation (Acoma Purchase) dominates the northern landscape of this 1964 field-checked survey, showcasing the high-desert topography of the Acoma region. The map reveals a sophisticated network of water management essential for ranching and settlement in an arid environment, featuring numerous named catchments like Henderson Reservoir, North Sanchez Tank, and Alcon Tank. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including Broom Mountain and the broad expanses of Victorino Mesa and Mesa Del Oro. Subtle human imprints are visible through family-named landmarks and infrastructure, such as the Henderson Windmill and Ward Windmill, alongside seasonal watercourses like Blue Water Creek and Gallegos Creek. This survey provides a precise record of the fence lines and water sources that sustained the local economy before more modern developments altered the traditional use of the land.
