1982 Map of Capulin Mountain

About this map

Capulin Mountain National Monument dominates the western landscape of this Northeastern New Mexico survey, where volcanic features like Baby Capulin and Mud Hill rise above the high plains. The map details a transition from the volcanic peaks to the wide mesas and canyon lands of Union County, where the Dry Cimarron River carves through the northern breaks. The settlement pattern follows the Colorado and Southern railroad line, linking towns such as Folsom, Des Moines, and Mount Dora along a vital transport corridor that parallels historical routes.
