1957 Map of Chromo

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Edith sits at the southern edge of this mid-century landscape, a small settlement near the Colorado and New Mexico border. The map captures a high-altitude wilderness dominated by the San Juan National Forest, where the complex drainage of the Rio Blanco and the Navajo River carves through massive landforms like Eightmile Mesa and Klutter Mtn. This era shows a landscape transitioning between remote timber and grazing land to early petroleum exploration, evidenced by scattered artesian wells and oil wells near Kenney Flats. Further north, the Squaretop Guard Station and established routes like the Blanco Basin Road and Leche Trail define the movement of forest rangers and local residents through the high basins. To the east, the Tierra Amarilla Grant boundary marks the enduring legacy of Spanish land grants in the region.
