1953 Map of Espanola

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The confluence of the Rio Grande and the Santa Cruz River anchors this mid-century survey of northern New Mexico, revealing a landscape defined by ancestral tribal lands and Spanish land grants. The irrigation network is particularly dense, with numerous named acequias including the Guachupangue Ditch, Llano Ditch, and Mexican Ditch supporting agriculture in the valley. Indigenous heritage is central to the area, with the Santa Clara Pueblo and San Ildefonso Pueblo bordering the river, while religious and educational centers like McCurdy Sch and Black Mesa Church serve the surrounding rural communities.
