1966 Map of North San Ysidro

About this map

The Pecos River cuts a deep, winding path through this northern New Mexico landscape, separating the high elevations of the Santa Fe National Forest from the dramatic southern escarpment of Glorieta Mesa. The mid-1960s survey captures a corridor of movement where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad and a primary highway parallel the river, connecting small riverside settlements such as North San Ysidro and South San Ysidro. A local Cem and a Gravel Pit near the riverbanks indicate the small-scale industry and community life centered around these canyon communities.
