1964 Map of D Cross Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

D Cross Mountain stands as a prominent landmark in this mid-1960s survey of the high desert terrain where the Datil Mountains and Gallinas Mountains meet. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Alamocita Creek and Miguel Chavez Canyon, which flow through the protected lands of the Cibola National Forest. Human presence in this arid environment is marked by essential water management features such as Rock Tank and Blue Mesa Tank, along with several Prospects that hint at localized mineral exploration. The presence of the Martin Ranch and isolated water sources like INM Springs reflects the ranching heritage of the Catron and Socorro county border region. This map effectively illustrates the precarious balance of water and resource extraction in a high-elevation Southwestern wilderness before the era of modern development.
