1954 Map of Herrera

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Laguna Indian Reservation and Canoncito Navajo Indian Reservation meet in this mid-century New Mexico landscape, marked by complex land grant boundaries and early meteorological infrastructure. The small settlement of Herrera sits near the western edge, accompanied by the Capilla de San Ignacio and a nearby Cem. This survey documents a transition from traditional land use to scientific observation, evidenced by multiple U S Weather Bureau Rain Gauges scattered across the high desert terrain. Notable for its documentation of early-century labor history, the map locates the CCC Camp (Aban'd), a remnant of the Civilian Conservation Corps era. Resource extraction is noted through several Shafts (Aban'd), while the reliance on subterranean water is clear from the many scattered Windmill sites across La Mesa Quebrada and La Mesita Blanca.
