1967 Map of Mesito Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Rio Grande defines the western edge of this Colorado landscape, carving through the terrain where it meets the San Luis Hills and a distinctive canyon known as The Box. The area is characterized by high-elevation landforms including Music Mesa, the Brownie Hills, and the Sangre De Cristo range. Water management is a central theme, evidenced by the Mesito Reservoir and the winding course of Culebra Creek. The map documents early exploration and resource extraction through scattered labels for Prospects and individual Prospect sites, particularly near the river and the Grant Boundary. The presence of Death Valley and Sugar Loaf further illustrates the varied topography found in this high-plains region during the mid-1960s.
