1966 Map of Mule Dam

About this map

Sisnathyel Mesa dominates the northern landscape of this Sandoval County terrain, where the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation Boundary marks a significant division in the land. The mapping reveals a complex network of water management features essential for this arid environment, including Mule Dam, Chimney Dam, and the Big Island CCC Tank, the latter suggesting New Deal era infrastructure. Livestock and land use are further evidenced by isolated landmarks such as Dennison Well, Herrera Well, and White Point Well. Running through the southeastern portion of the sheet, the Continental Divide serves as the primary hydrological spine, influencing the drainage of the Cañada Corrales and Encino Wash. The presence of several Drill Holes points to subsurface exploration during the mid-1960s, a period when the region was primarily navigated by a network of Jeep Trails.
