1961 Map of La Gotera

About this map

Nuestra Senora de la Luz de las Lagunitas and the massive Cebolleta Grant define the land tenure of this high-altitude landscape in the early 1960s. The survey reveals a region shaped by historical land grants and dispersed ranching operations, including the Evans Ranch and the former Rancho Agua Blanca (Site). Evidence of industry appears at the Dorey Mine, located along the winding course of the Cañon del Piojo. The drainage network is dominated by the Salado Creek and its many tributaries, while peaks such as Cerro de Jacobo and Cerro Chato rise above the valley floors. In the southwest corner, San Antonio Valley holds the small settlement of Dos Tristes, providing a glimpse into the localized water and ranching hubs that sustained life in the high desert of the Sandoval and Valencia County borderlands.
