1961 Map of Laguna Seca

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses much of this high-desert landscape, where the McKinley and Sandoval County line divides the high mesas and deep canyons. The settlement pattern is defined by isolated outposts and water sources like Eagle Nest and the agricultural pocket at La Jolla Alfalfa. Water remains the central concern for those navigating this territory, evidenced by numerous tanks and springs such as Guadalupe Spring, North Spring, and the seasonal Laguna Seca. Massive geographic features like Mesa de la Vereda Piedra Blanca and Valle de las Animas dominate the terrain, while the Guadalupe Ranger Station serves as a lone administrative landmark in the wilderness. Small, localized place names like Cerritos de La Jolla de Santa Rosa hint at the area's deep Hispanic cultural roots and livestock history.
