1961 Map of Huerfano Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Alamosa Creek carves a deep path through the center of this Sierra County landscape, defining the dramatic geology of Monticello Canyon. The terrain transitions from the high peaks of Sierras Mediano in the northwest down toward the arid flats of the Cuchillo Community Allotment Res in the south. This environment is defined by its water management, seen in the numerous catchment features like M N Chavez Res No 1, Huerfano Tank, and Holding Trap Tank No 2. Access throughout the area is provided by a network of ranch and service paths, including Lower Narrows Road and Martin Ranch Road, which connect isolated water points and grazing allotments. The presence of a Radio Tower and various jeep trails suggest the dual use of this land for modern communication and traditional ranching during the mid-twentieth century.
