1959 Map of Mesa Del Yeso

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Sevilleta and the high desert plateaus east of the Rio Grande define this landscape as it appeared in the late 1950s. The terrain is deeply incised by complex drainage systems like the Arroyo de la Parida and Arroyo Alamillo, which carve through the Valle del Ojo de la Parida. Human activity in this arid environment is concentrated around seasonal water and historic land grants, evidenced by the Old Stapleton Ranch and the Sabino Ranch. Genealogists and historians will find significant markers of former habitation, including Ruins Ojo de la Parida and isolated Graves near the Mesa del Yeso. The map also captures the Puertecito of Bowling Green, situated near a prominent Grant Boundary, reflecting the complex land ownership patterns of the Socorro region.
