1981 Map of Capitan Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Lincoln National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high ridges of the Capitan Mountains meet a complex system of drainage canyons. The southern portion of the map centers on the winding course of the Rio Bonito, a vital water source in this arid environment, flanked by the U S Government Reservation Boundary. Small-scale historical activity is evidenced by scattered prospects, a Gravel Pit, and various springs like Hammett Spring and Lincoln Canyon Spring that supported local ranching or early homesteading efforts.
