1957 Map of Mount Taylor

For researchers and genealogists, the map identifies specific water sources such as Gooseberry Spring, Bosque Spring, and Raton Spring, which were critical for local cattle ranching and land use in this arid environment. Evidence of mid-century infrastructure appears at the Microwave Station on the southwestern slopes, while numerous Jeep Trails snake through the canyons, providing a record of 1950s access routes through the southern volcanic field.
