1974 Map of Lawrence Arroyo

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Santa Fe Trail and its significant Cimarron Cutoff cross this high plains landscape, marking the historic movement of traders and migrants through Colfax County. This 1970s survey captures a working ranching environment defined by scattered water sources like Barela Springs and Laird Springs. The infrastructure of the era is represented by family-named landmarks such as the Archuleta Windmill, Reville Windmill, and Tafoya Windmill, which highlight the necessity of groundwater management in the shadow of the Chico Hills. Notable for genealogists is a lone Grave located north of the Lawrence Arroyo, a poignant reminder of the individuals who lived in this arid territory. The geography is further defined by the winding paths of Holkeo Creek and Palo Blanco Creek, providing a detailed view of the drainage patterns essential to the regional cattle industry.
