1971 Map of Loco Arroyo

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Maxwell Land Grant and Beaubien and Miranda boundary dominates this 1970s landscape, reflecting the deep-seated land tenure history of Colfax County. This high-desert terrain is defined by complex drainage systems, where Loco Arroyo and Kappis Arroyo cut through the arid soil towards Tinaja Creek. The map records specific points of human activity and heritage, most notably the Herrera Cem and several unnamed springs that were vital for sustaining life in this dry environment. Transport in the early 1970s relied on local routes like Piñon Road and Chico Road, which trace the contours of the land near Cerrito Negro. Small-scale industrial traces are also evident, such as a Gravel Pit, providing a grounded view of the local economy before more modern developments.
