1967 Map of Monument Point

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Pablo Montoya Grant dominates this landscape of the New Mexico high plains, where the Canadian River carves through deep sandstone canyons. This ranching-focused terrain is defined by its water management, featuring a dense network of windmills and tanks such as the Lower Oso Windmill, Alamosa Windmill, and Mistake Tank. The infrastructure of the Conchas Canal is a prominent engineering feature, most notably where it disappears into Tunnel No 2 beneath the rising elevation of Monument Point. To the north, the small San Lorenzo Cem provides a poignant genealogical anchor near the riverbanks. The map captures a transition from the broad river valley to the dramatic escarpments of Mesa Rica and Chical Mesa, reflecting a remote landscape where land grants and water rights have shaped human movement for generations.
