1961 Map of Caballo
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Caballo Reservoir dominates this 1961 landscape, where the waters of the Rio Grande are managed by the significant Caballo Dam and the Percha Diversion Dam. The settlement of Caballo serves as a focal point along the western shore, featuring a Po and Community Hall, while the smaller community of Oasis sits further south. The map documents a complex network of arroyos and canyons carving into the high ground, including Ash Canyon and Bat Cave Canyon. Evidence of past industry and movement is visible through Dredge Tailings near the river and established routes like Lees Trail and Jesp Trail. Numerous water sources, such as Las Animas Creek and Flowing Wells, highlight the critical role of water management in this arid Sierra County terrain.
