1963 Map of Espinosa Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Espinosa Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Rio Arriba County, where the rugged topography of the Carson National Forest is defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas. Mapping from the early 1960s reveals a terrain dominated by Cabresto Mesa and Mesteñas Mesa, punctuated by several Gas Wells and a pipeline that signal the era's energy extraction within the forest boundaries. Water sources are scarce but vital, marked by the presence of Laguna Seca and Manuel Spring. The map documents a system of travel through these breaks, from the drainage of American Canyon to the jeep trail and unimproved roads that trace the floor of La Jara Canyon. Rising above the surrounding breaks, Mesteñas Peak serves as a primary landmark in this remote section of northern New Mexico.
