1995 Map of Lion Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Lion Mountain rises as a prominent landmark within the Cibola National Forest, anchoring a high-desert landscape defined by ranching and resource management. This mid-1990s survey, updated from 1960s data, illustrates the vital role of water infrastructure in Socorro County, with numerous landmarks like the Corral Montosas Deep Well and High Lonesome Well scattered across the basin. The Gallinas Mountains form a significant backdrop to the northeast, while Antelope Flats suggests the open grazing character of the land. Human presence is centered on sites like the Double H Ranch, supported by a network of tanks and windmills such as East Tank and the Three Section Windmill. This map documents a traditional Western landscape where early 20th-century ranching developments remained the primary footprint in the late 1900s.
