1965 Map of Dusty

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The high desert rangelands of the Catron and Socorro county line are documented here during the mid-1960s, a landscape defined by isolated homesteads and essential water sources. The settlement of Dusty anchors the southern end of the sheet near Alamosa, while family-named landmarks like Henderson Ranch, Tucker Ranch, and McCracken Ranch illustrate the localized ranching economy of the era. The terrain transitions from the deep drainages of Limestone Canyon and Pigeon Canyon in the Cibola National Forest to the prominent heights of Rock Springs Peak and Patterson Peak. A network of livestock tanks, including Shreves Tank and Stalling Tank, and reliable points like Rock Springs provide critical infrastructure across this arid topography. The presence of Pigeon Cabin and numerous named draws like Ben Draw offer a detailed look at the rural character and land use in this part of New Mexico before modern development.
