1963 Map of Cerro Pelon

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Bartolome Fernandez Grant Boundary and the Cebolleta Grant Boundary define the complex land tenure of this high-elevation landscape within the Cibola National Forest. The 1963 survey, with updates from 1978, documents an arid environment managed for water resources, marked by numerous man-made and natural catchments such as Llanito Frio Tanks, Salazar Tank, and Effran Tank. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like San Miguel Canyon and American Canyon, which drop away from volcanic summits including Cerro Pelon and Cerro Osha. Evidence of early cattle or sheep ranching infrastructure is preserved through features like Sandoval Cabin Spring and Salazar Cabin Spring, while the primitive San Mateo-Springs Track No 5 provides a historical trace of transit through the high San Lucas Valley.
