1966 Map of El Morro Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

El Morro Mesa dominates this central De Baca County landscape, rising between the drainage of Yeso Creek and the broad expanse of Gramma Valley. In the mid-1960s, this area remained sparsely populated, characterized by isolated holdings such as the Overton Ranch and Jasper Ranch. The presence of a dedicated Landing Strip near the northern bluff indicates the reliance on aerial access for these remote ranching operations. The map also records the location of unidentified Ruins along the creek, suggesting a history of habitation preceding the modern ranching era. This survey, compiled from 1965 aerial photography, provides a clear view of the complex topography including Conejo Mesa and the surveyed Base Line that anchors the region's township grid.
