1971 Map of Laguna La Monia

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The vast Las Vegas Grant dominates this 1970s landscape of San Miguel County, showing a transition from the level plains of the west to the deep breaks of the east. At the heart of this survey lies Laguna La Monia, a prominent water body that likely served as a vital focal point for the surrounding cattle operations. The presence of Feliz Ranch, Anchor Ranch, and Bryan Pens indicates an established ranching economy, where small settlements and corrals are scattered across the high country. As the elevation drops sharply toward the eastern edge, the terrain becomes defined by complex drainage systems such as Cañoncito del las Cuevas and Box Canyon. This study also captures more rugged features like the high point of Mogote, providing a look at the topographical variety that defined New Mexico's rangelands during the early 1970s.
