1963 Map of Leandro Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation and Carson National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape of Rio Arriba County. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as Devils Mesa and La Jara Forest Mesa, dissected by deep drainage systems including Leandro Canyon and Vaqueros Canyon. This mid-century survey reveals a specialized economy focused on energy extraction and livestock management, marked by numerous Gas Wells and a significant Pipeline that cuts through the southwestern corner. Water sources are critical in this environment, with a network of cattle tanks and natural springs like Laguna Seca, Valencia Canyon Tank, and Gettem Spring providing vital resources across the mesas. The boundary line between Range 4 West and Range 3 West bisects the map, showing the intersection of federal forest land and tribal reservation territory during the 1960s.
