1972 Map of Montoya Point

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Montoya Point rises above the high plains of San Miguel County, anchoring a landscape defined by the expansive Pablo Montoya land grant. Surveyed in the early 1970s, this area shows a sparse but deliberate network of water and transit infrastructure essential for ranching in the New Mexico high country. Intermittent water sources like La Cinta Creek and Arroyo Del Gato cut through the terrain, while isolated landmarks such as the Upper Perra Windmill, Prairie Dog Windmill, and Three Legged Windmill indicate the critical locations of water for livestock. Evidence of mid-century exploration appears in the form of a Drill Hole and a high-elevation Jeep Trail, illustrating how the rugged geography was navigated and utilized decades ago.
