1956 Map of Mesa Aparejo

About this map

Mesa Lucero and Mesa Aparejo dominate this mid-century New Mexico landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by complex arroyo systems and scattered cattle ranching operations. The area is characterized by a network of family-held properties and resting points, including Romero Ranch, Frost Ranch, and the aptly named Kings Rest. Water management is the primary human imprint on the land, evidenced by dozens of named tanks such as Shipping Tank, Esperanza Tank, and Llegua Tank that served the livestock industry across the Valencia and Socorro county line.
