1961 Map of Mesa Portales

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mesa Portales and Mesa Chijuila dominate this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County, revealing a terrain defined by dramatic escarpments and seasonal watercourses. Mapped in the early 1960s, the area shows a reliance on scattered water sources such as Ojo de Gutierrez, Smoky Spring, and Moreno Spring. These springs and ojos, or "eyes" of water, are critical landmarks in the arid expanse of the San Isidro Valley, where travel and settlement historically followed the reliable flow of the canyons.
