1961 Map of Marquez

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Marquez sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape, tucked near the Arroyo Hondo where the Sandoval and Valencia county lines meet. The terrain is defined by the massive Cebolleta plateau, which falls away into a complex system of canyons like the Cañon de Marquez and the deep Cañon Seco. This 1961 survey provides a look at a ranching landscape reliant on dispersed water sources, including Ojo San Mateo and Diablo Spring. Notable landmarks like Las Cuevas de Marquez and the Cueva de los Novios suggest a geography shaped by both natural features and long-established local lore. The presence of several bridges, such as the Gallegos Bridge and Puerto Bridge, highlights the critical travel routes through these canyons before modern infrastructure bypassed many of these remote settlements.
