1967 Map of Kimbeto

About this map

Kimbeto sits within a landscape defined by intermittent watercourses and the infrastructure of the energy industry during the late 1960s. Surveyed by the Geological Survey and field-checked in 1967, the area shows a clear reliance on groundwater, evidenced by numerous features such as Well, Drill Hole, and the uniquely named Tony Lopez Well. The drainage patterns of the Kimbeto Wash and Betonnie Tsosie Wash carve through the terrain, illustrating the hydrologic character of this New Mexico quadrangle. A prominent Pipeline traverses the high ground, marking the intersection of resource extraction and the rural environment. Small-scale landmarks like Hollow Pit Tank and various unnamed Spring locations provide specific points of interest for those studying the historical geography of San Juan County.
