1956 Map of Edgewood

About this map

San Pedro Mtn and South Mountain dominate the western horizon of this mid-century New Mexico landscape, where high-desert cattle ranching and early aviation define the topography. The map documents an era when family holdings like Bassett Ranch, Irby Ranch, and Palo Amarillo Ranch were the primary landmarks across the San Pedro Mountains. Near the southeastern edge, the growing community of Moriarty sits at a transportation crossroads, while the Otto Airfield and its associated Beacon to the north highlight the region's importance to territorial navigation.
