1953 Map of Magote Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Magote Ridge dominates this 1950s landscape within the Carson National Forest, where the terrain is carved by complex drainages like Ojito Chico and Cañon Largo. High-altitude water sources are critical features of this high-country environment, evidenced by scattered tanks and springs such as Magote Spring, Jose Maria Spring, and Laguna de las Ranas. Human activity is focused around small settlements and seasonal outposts including Magotito, Harris Bear Camp, and Rancherilla. The southern portion of the map is defined by the Juan Jose Lobato Grant boundary, indicating the persistent influence of Spanish land grants on modern land tenure. Navigating this area relied heavily on a network of primitive routes, including a significant Jeep Trail that follows the contours of the canyons and ridges toward El Rito.
