1963 Map of Mesa Lauriano

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Antonio Ortiz land grant territory defines this high desert landscape, where the Gallinas River cuts through the southern reaches of San Miguel County. The terrain is characterized by massive plateau formations, including the prominent Mesa Lauriano and the sprawling Mesa de los Carros to the north. Evidence of earlier settlement is concentrated near the river, notably at the Los Torres ruins and the nearby Los Torres Cem, suggesting a once-active community supported by the Chaperito Ditch irrigation system.
