1963 Map of Lindrith

About this map

Lindrith stands at the center of this high-altitude landscape, situated within the productive San Juan Basin gas field during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a transitional zone where ranching and energy extraction meet the northern edge of the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages, including Cañada Larga, Gavilan Canyon, and Oso Canyon, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure.
