1955 Map of Cimarron

About this map

The Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell Grant) dominates this high-plains landscape, where the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains give way to an intricate system of deep-cut drainage canyons. The settlement of Cimarron serves as a focal point at the base of Antelope Mesa, situated where Cimarron Creek emerges from the hills. To the north, the town of Dawson reflects the industrial activity of the mid-20th century, supported by an Umbrella Mine, a Powerhouse, and a nearby Gaging Sta along the Vermejo River.
