1954 Map of Gomez Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Gomez Ranch and the nearby San Juan Camp anchor this mid-century topographic record of northern New Mexico's high desert. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of La Jara Canyon and La Fragua Canyon, which cut through the tablelands of Rio Arriba County. Industrial development is evident throughout the terrain, marked by an extensive network of pipelines and numerous Gas Wells that trace the energy extraction of the San Juan Basin during the 1950s. A remote Landing Strip situated near Frances Creek further illustrates the logistical requirements of managing these isolated outposts. Notable geodetic markers like VABM Frances 6899 and a solitary Cem near the eastern canyon rim offer specific points of interest for genealogists and surveyors looking into the human and technical history of this rugged area.
