1963 Map of Laguna Castillo

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Chaco Canyon National Monument occupies a significant portion of this high-desert landscape in McKinley County, as recorded during a 1963 field check. The terrain is defined by its sparse water sources and ranching infrastructure, centered around the Laguna Castillo basin. Small-scale human presence is marked by isolated landmarks like the Hardpan Windmill and South Ranch, reflecting the enduring reliance on groundwater in this arid region. The mapping also identifies a Flowing Well to the west, highlighting the critical points of hydration that dictated movement and settlement patterns throughout the mid-20th century. This survey provides a clear view of the land before modern expansion, focusing on the essential topography and designated protected areas of northwestern New Mexico.
