1957 Map of Mesa Gigante

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mesa Gigante (Bell Rock Mesa) dominates this high desert landscape, serving as a massive topographical anchor where the Paguate Purchase Grant, Laguna Indian Reservation, and Canoncito Navajo Indian Reservation converge. The mapping, based on 1950s field data, illustrates a complex system of land grants and tribal boundaries during a period of mid-century federal oversight. Drainage patterns are defined by deep incisions like Sandoval Canyon and the winding course of Arroyo Bell, which cut through the limestone and sandstone plateaus.
