1965 Map of Molino Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Molino Peak stands as a prominent landmark within the Cibola National Forest, where the high desert terrain transitions between the Magdalena Mountains and the Chupadera Mountains. This 1960s survey captures a landscape defined by its vital water sources and early extraction efforts, featuring several isolated prospects and a Strip Mine located south of Molino Spring. The presence of the Gianero Ranch and the expansive Pedro Armendaris No 34 land grant illustrates the traditional ranching heritage of Socorro County. Geologists and local historians can trace the intricate drainage systems of Sixmile Canyon, Chavez Canyon, and Torreon Arroyo, while genealogists may find interest in the dispersed watering holes like Torreon Springs, Ryan Hill Spring, and Cienega Springs that supported life in this arid environment.
