1956 Map of Miami

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Philmont Scout Ranch Headquarters and its Training Center serve as a central hub in this high-altitude landscape of Colfax County, depicted just after the mid-century mark. Much of the terrain lies within the historic Beaubien and Miranda Grant (Maxwell Grant), where the drainage of Rayado Creek and Cimarron River carved out prominent landmarks like Tooth of Time Ridge and Kit Carson Mesa. This survey documents a transition from cattle ranching to institutional conservation and education, evidenced by the presence of the Kit Carson Museum and several working livestock outposts like Sweetwater Cow Camp. The community of Miami is shown alongside its namesake Miami Lake, supported by a complex network of ditches that redirect mountain runoff across the Coyote Mesa to sustain local agricultural holdings such as the Hanson Farm.
