1961 Map of Headcut Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

La Ventana Mesa dominates the eastern half of this Sandoval County landscape, where the high desert plateau gives way to complex drainage networks. This 1961 field-checked survey reveals a territory defined by intermittent water sources and livestock infrastructure, including the Headcut Reservoir and the Montoya Well. The mapping of several springs, such as Piedra Lumbre Spring, with specific notations of being polluted, provides a rare glimpse into the environmental conditions and water quality challenges of the era. To the south, the terrain rises toward the distinct summits of Deadman Peaks and Cerro Colorado, while the northern reaches feature Zambarm Lake. A solitary Mine symbol on Leandro Mesa indicates localized resource extraction amidst the ranching land, which is otherwise marked by various catchments like Padilla Tank and named drainages like Arroyo Piedra Lumbre.
