1954 Map of Capilla Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The high ridges of the Manzano Mountains dominate this mid-century survey of the Cibola National Forest, where the transition from desert floor to alpine peaks is clearly marked. Rising to over 9,000 feet, Capilla Peak serves as a focal point for scientific and fire-watch operations, featuring both the Capilla Peak Observatory and a Lookout Tower. The terrain is deeply incised by dozens of canyons, including Cañon de la Mina and Cañon de la Capilla, reflecting a landscape defined by water drainage and seasonal springs like Ojo la Casa.
