1955 Map of Lumberton
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
The Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad threads through the canyons of northern New Mexico. Settlement patterns follow the rail corridor and the course of Amargo Creek, connecting the mountain towns of Lumberton, Dulce, and Monero. This area reflects a mid-1950s economy rooted in extraction and ranching, evidenced by the Carano Bros Mine and Lany Mine alongside established holdings like Rancho Diamante and Abeyta Ranch. The high-altitude terrain is defined by the Continental Divide and prominent landmarks like Archuleta Mesa, with water resources such as Horse Lake and the Navajo River providing essential lifelines in the high desert and mountain environment near the Colorado border.
