About this map

Cuba serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, situated where the Rio Puerco and Rito Leche converge. The settlement pattern reflects the mid-century development of Sandoval County, with the Cuba Ranger Station and a local High School indicating its role as a regional administrative and social hub. To the north, the small community of La Jara is anchored by the Santos Niños Church and La Jara School, illustrating the dispersed residential character typical of the high desert landscape.

The eastern portion of the map transitions into the steep elevations of the Santa Fe National Forest and the San Pedro Parks Wilderness. This area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Vallecito de los Pinos and Rito del Rio Puerco. Notable landmarks such as the Circle A Ranch and the Rodeo Ground near Rio Nacimiento highlight the local ranching culture and land use during this era.
