1963 Map of La Segita Peaks NE

About this map

Water management in this high-desert borderland is anchored by the Valley Ditch, which follows the contours of the northern terrain across the Colorado New Mexico line. The landscape is primarily defined by its drainage patterns and isolated water sources, such as a lone Well situated in the northeast. This 1963 survey captures the area as a rural boundary zone where the borders of Conejos County and Taos County meet at the state line. The lack of concentrated settlements or industrial infrastructure suggests a region dedicated to range or water rights management during the mid-twentieth century, with the ditch serving as the primary evidence of human modification to the natural landscape.
