1963 Map of Lindrith

About this map

Lindrith serves as a remote hub in northern Rio Arriba County, appearing here during the early 1960s as a center for regional energy and ranching interests. The settlement is anchored by the Lindrith Cem and a nearby Landing Strip, while the landscape to the south is dominated by the boundaries of the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage systems, including Cañada Larga and Gavilan Canyon, which intersect the high plateau country. Several Gas Wells and an extensive network of Pipelines illustrate the intensifying industrial development within the San Juan Basin during this era. Distinctive local landmarks like Gavilan Lake and the Ojito Camp provide specific points of interest for those tracing the mid-century geography of this high-desert region.
