1959 Map of Gould Pass

About this map

The high plateau and canyon country of the San Juan Basin is meticulously documented in the late 1950s, revealing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and seasonal drainages. The rugged Manzanares Mesa dominates the northern reaches, while the terrain is deeply dissected by a network of arroyos including Gobernador Canyon and Carrizo Creek. Small, isolated settlements like Medina and Jaques are situated near the mouths of these canyons, indicating a pattern of dispersed ranching and localized habitation dependent on the intermittent water sources found in this arid environment.
