1964 Map of Lion Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The high-desert terrain of the Cibola National Forest dominates the northwestern corner of this mid-1960s study, where the boundary between Catron County and Socorro County cuts through the landscape. This map captures a dry-land ranching and resource-extraction environment, defined by a sparse network of water sources essential for survival. Family-named infrastructure like the West Chavez Windmill and East Chavez Windmill appear alongside the Little West Chavez Windmill, suggesting a history of local land use and seasonal stock watering. In the southern half of the sheet, the presence of a Landing Area and multiple Borrow Pits near the county line indicates a landscape utilized for regional transit and road material extraction. The eastern expanse transitions into more level territory, punctuated by the seasonal basin of North Lake and isolated points like the Antelope Windmill.
