1967 Map of Kimbeto

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Kimbeto serves as the focal point of this arid landscape in the high desert of the San Juan Basin during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a sparse settlement pattern dictated by water access, with the intermittent Kimbeto Wash and Betonnie Tsosie Wash cutting broad, sandy paths through the terrain. A notable genealogical and local history detail is the inclusion of the Tony Lopez Well, indicating specific family-held water resources in a region where such landmarks were vital for ranching and survival. The infrastructure of the mid-20th century is evident through a prominent Pipeline and scattered industrial markers like a Drill Hole, reflecting the area's role in resource extraction. This survey, based on 1965 aerial photography, provides a clear view of the traditional land use and early energy development before significant modernization altered the rural character of this New Mexico quadrangle.
