1966 Map of Leyba

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The settlement of Leyba serves as a small focal point in this 1960s survey of San Miguel County, tucked within the branching drainages of Cañon Blanco. The landscape is defined by its mesa-and-canyon topography, where names like La Mesa Pobre and Mesa Portrero indicate a long history of grazing and ranching. Evidence of early habitation is visible at the El Cablito Indian Ruins and further south at Old Indian Ruins near Cañada del Pueblo, suggesting the area's deep archaeological significance. Local religious and community life centers on the San Francisco Cem Ch, while the remote character of the high country is reinforced by features like the Shelly Hayes Camp and Shelly Windmill. The northeastern corner transitions into the protected timberlands of the Santa Fe National Forest, while various water tanks such as Leyba Tank and Rock Tank mark the critical infrastructure needed to sustain life in this arid terrain.
