1966 Map of Lucero

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Coyote Creek carves through this northern New Mexico landscape, shaping a valley where small, family-named settlements like Los Medinas, Los Cisneros, and Los Cocas were established by the mid-1960s. The terrain is dominated by the high plateau of La Mesa and the deep cut of Guadalupita Canyon, reflecting a traditional land-use pattern where habitation clings to the water sources and arable valley floor. Evidence of early spiritual and community life is visible at the El Convento (Ruins) and the La Morada Cem near the southern settlement of Lucero. These specific markers, along with various prospect pits scattered across the hillsides, point to a history of subsistence ranching and small-scale mineral exploration. The presence of a Jeep Trail winding through the eastern highlands indicates the limited but vital transit network connecting these isolated communities in Mora County.
