1966 Map of Lybrook SE

About this map

Ojo Socorro serves as a lone named settlement point in this high-desert landscape, situated where the high plains of Sandoval County meet the boundaries of San Juan and McKinley counties. The map, based on 1965 aerial photography, reveals an environment shaped by both natural drainage and industrial utility. A network of Pipelines and numerous Jeep Trails crisscross the terrain, reflecting the mid-century expansion of energy infrastructure in New Mexico. Water management is a primary feature of the area, evidenced by the Alamos Detention Dam and its associated spillway, along with natural features like Cañada Alemita and Cañada Alamos. Names like Harrison Well and Werito-Martine Well suggest individual ranching or drilling histories, while the expansive Cottonwood Flats defines the southern portion of the sheet.
