1964 Map of D Cross Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

D Cross Mountain stands as the central landmark in this mid-1960s study of the high desert and mountain borderlands of central New Mexico. The landscape is defined by the transition between the Datil Mountains and the Gallinas Mountains, deeply etched by a network of drainage systems including Alamocita Canyon and Dog Springs Canyon. Most of the southern and eastern territory is protected within the Cibola National Forest, where water management for ranching and wildlife is evident through named features like Blue Mesa Tank and Rock Tank. The presence of the Martin Ranch and several noted Prospect locations suggests a landscape balancing traditional grazing with mineral exploration. Straddling the boundary between Catron and Socorro counties, the map documents a network of unimproved roads and canyons, such as Jaramillo Canyon and Miguel Chavez Canyon, providing a detailed record of the region before modern development.
