1954 Map of Gomez Ranch

About this map

La Jara Reservoir sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Rio Arriba County, where the topography is defined by the deep incisions of La Jara Canyon and La Fragua Canyon. This mid-century survey, updated in the early 1980s, reveals a terrain transitioning into an active industrial zone. A dense network of Gas Wells and connecting Pipelines underscores the region's mid-century energy development, crisscrossing the drainages of Frances Creek and Manuel Can. Remote outposts such as Gomez Ranch and San Juan Camp represent the few human habitations in this area, while a remote Landing Strip and isolated Cem markers point to the logistical and personal history of those working this isolated land. The inclusion of Laguna Seca in the northeast corner further illustrates the varied water features that dictate movement through this complex drainage system.
