1972 Map of Moreno Hill

About this map

Largo Creek flows along the southern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources. The map captures a moment in the early 1970s when the region's economy relied on livestock and resource extraction, evidenced by scattered improvements such as Goesling Deep Well and the Pueblo Windmill. The boundary between Valencia and Catron counties cuts through the center of the sheet, crossing notable landforms like Circle Butte and the namesake Moreno Hill.
