1964 Map of La Jara Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cibola National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century New Mexico study, where a network of seasonal water sources supported remote ranching operations. The rugged terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Mesa de la Cienaga and the deep incisions of Caon del Rio Salado. Isolated settlements like Benjamin Ranch and Rancho de los Chaves are situated near vital water points such as El Chupadero Spring and La Jara Spring. The presence of numerous livestock tanks, including Juan De Dios Tank and Mina Tank, underscores the importance of water management in this arid environment. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map also captures remnants of local industry at a solitary Prospect and topographical landmarks like La Jara Peak and Monument Hill.
