1972 Map of Cantaralo Spring

About this map

Mazón Camp sits at the northern edge of this high-desert landscape in Valencia County, marking a localized human footprint in an otherwise expansive terrain. The sheet is dominated by the massive landforms of the Zuni Plateau, which shapes the regional drainage and topography. Two primary watercourses, Jaralosa Draw and Aguaje Draw, carve through the plateau, indicating the seasonal movement of water across this arid environment. The map reflects a period of meticulous land surveying in the early 1970s, documenting the remote ranching and grazing infrastructure of western New Mexico before county boundary reorganizations.
