1971 Map of Canon Las Cuevas

About this map

Cañon las Cuevas dominates this high-plains landscape in the early 1970s, where deep drainage systems carve through the New Mexico terrain. The map reveals a land defined by its water sources and livestock infrastructure, featuring the Thompson Windmill and various unnamed springs that sustained local ranching. The presence of a solitary Grave and a Gravel Pit near Mills Canyon Road suggests a history of sparse, isolated habitation and local resource extraction.
