1957 Map of Mc Cartys

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

McCartys and the Santa Maria Mission anchor this mid-century valley landscape, situated along the Rio San Jose and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad. Much of the terrain is defined by the high plateaus of Horace Mesa and Mc Carty Mesa, which overlook the Acoma Indian Reservation. The presence of an Abandoned Airfield and the McCartys Siding indicates the importance of transportation and infrastructure within the Acoma Pueblo Grant. Beyond the primary settlement, the map reveals isolated agricultural outposts like Chief Rancho and Lane Ranch, and various springs such as Lobo Springs and Lane Spring that were vital for sustaining life in this arid environment. The intricate canyon systems, including Tatoya Canyon and Cañon del Conejo, illustrate a complex drainage network leading into the central river valley.
