About this map

The confluence of the Red River and the Rio Grande defines this mid-1960s landscape, where the deep cut of the Canon del Rio Grande dominates the terrain. This survey illustrates a primitive network of roads and trails within the Carson National Forest, providing access to isolated recreational sites such as Chiflo Campground, Arsenic Springs Campground, and La Junta Campground.

Infrastructure is sparse, focused on the Red River State Fish Hatchery and several specialized facilities like a Radio Facility and a Gaging Sta along the river. Terrain markers such as Guadalupe Mountain, Cerro Chiflo, and Brushy Mountain rise above the high Cebolla Mesa. Geologists and researchers will find specific interest in a lone Prospect and Arsenic Spring, indicating the specialized natural resources mapped during this era.
