1964 Map of Mount Washington

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

San Mateo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Cibola National Forest, where steep drainages and isolated peaks define the terrain. The presence of Monica Cabin and names like A-L Peak and A-L Spring suggest a history of high-country ranching and forest management during the mid-twentieth century. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are specifically marked at Cooney Windmill and various springs. The map reveals a complex network of canyons, including Little Monica Canyon and Potato Canyon, that carve through the volcanic geology of the region. This survey, compiled from 1950s aerial photography and field-checked in the early 1960s, documents a period before significant modern development, focusing on the natural topography and the sparse human markers like the Jeep Trail that provided access to these remote New Mexico highlands.
