1971 Map of Mc Williams Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell) territory dominates this northern New Mexico landscape, where the Canadian River cuts through a dense network of named drainages along the Colorado border. This early 1970s survey documents a region defined by its deep canyons and early industry, featuring locations like Shingle Mill Canyon and Sawmill Canyon that suggest the area's timber history. Human activity is concentrated along specific corridors, notably the York Canyon Road and a scattering of remote infrastructure including a Mine and several recorded Drill Hole locations. The terrain is heavily dissected, with family-named features such as Mc Cuen Canyon, Bruggerman Canyon, and Doyle Canyon providing valuable identifiers for local historians. Water sources are precious and specifically noted, including Joe Baker Spring and other unnamed springs that historically supported the ranching and resource extraction across the Colfax County line.
