1957 Map of Lobo Springs

About this map

Cibola National Forest and the northern reaches of the Acoma Pueblo Indian Land dominate this high-desert landscape in the late 1950s. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as La Jara Mesa and the San Mateo Mountains, which are dissected by deep canyons like Lobo Canyon and Rinconada Canyon. Water is the primary driver of human activity here, evidenced by a dense network of named water sources including Lobo Springs, Telephone Spring, and De Armand Spring.
