1965 Map of Lion Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cibola National Forest encompasses the rugged elevations of the Gallinas Mountains in this mid-1960s study of Socorro County. The landscape is defined by its arid cattle-country infrastructure, where survival and industry depend on scattered water sources like High Lonesome Well, Deep Well, and East Chavez Tank. The presence of the Double H Ranch and several family-named landmarks indicates a sparse but established ranching community utilizing the expansive terrain of Antelope Flats. Central to the sheet is the summit of Lion Mountain, which stands as a prominent topographical anchor overlooking the transition from high mountain forest to the alluvial plains below. The mapping detail highlights a network of unimproved roads and windmills, such as Three Section Windmill and East Windmill, which were essential for maintaining livestock across these remote New Mexico rangelands.
