1965 Map of Jaralosa Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Sierra Cuchillo Hills dominate the western half of this mid-1960s survey, marking a distinct transition from the high ridges of Jaralosa Mountain and Juan Peak toward the eastern drainages of Alamosa Creek. This high-desert landscape in Sierra Co and Socorro Co shows a specialized ranching economy reliant on carefully managed water sources, including the Sophie Windmill, Sedillo Wells, and the notable Monticello Community Ditch that feeds toward the east. Human presence is scattered across the range at sites like the Serna Mine and residential outposts such as Rouse Place and the H V L Ranch. Notable local landmarks like Bootlegger Gap and the Blue Hills are mapped alongside a complex network of seasonal watercourses like Grapevine Canyon and Shipman Canyon, illustrating the challenging environment of the Cibola National Forest boundary lands during this era.
