1961 Map of Madrid

About this map

Cerrillos and Madrid anchor this high-desert mining landscape, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad skirts the northern foothills. The region is defined by industrial extraction and cultural boundaries, most notably the North Boundary Ortiz Mine Grant and the South Boundary Mesita de Juana Lopez Grant. Deep in the Ortiz Mountains, a network of tracks like the Gypsy Trail and Stagecoach Canyon Trail provide access to the Dolores Mine and Cunningham Hill. Further south near the settlement of Golden, the San Francisco Ch stands as a focal point for the community. The map also records early indigenous history at the San Marcos Pueblo, situated near the San Marcos Arroyo, while various ranch sites like Glenn Ranch and Tinen Place appear across the arid terrain.
