1961 Map of Los Pilares

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

El Malpais dominates the western portion of this 1961 survey, where volcanic flows and the vast Lava field meet the rugged elevations of Black Mesa and Cebollita Mesa. The landscape is a study in high-desert isolation and survival, featuring remote agricultural outposts like Baca Ranch and Bibo Ranch positioned near crucial water sources like the Las Ventanas Windmill. In the southern reaches, the settlement of Los Pilares sits near several unnamed ruins, suggesting a long history of human habitation amidst the sandstone cliffs and lava tubes.
