1956 Map of Miami

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Beaubien and Miranda Grant lands dominate this mid-century survey, illustrating a landscape defined by large-scale ranching and the emerging heritage of the American West. The northern portion is anchored by the Philmont Scout Ranch Headquarters, a center for youth outdoor training that includes a dedicated Training Center and Camping Headquarters. Near the Carson Museum, the map traces the intersection of cattle operations and local history at Rayado, where the Rayado Creek flows past the Vallejo Ranch. To the southeast, the settlement of Miami serves as a local hub, supported by the Miami Lake reservoir and the Miami Cem. The terrain is characterized by high, flat-topped formations like Kit Carson Mesa and Ortega Mesa, while deep cattle-country history is evident at remote sites like Sweetwater Cow Camp and the Fernandez Ranch.
