1961 Map of Paraje Well

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Elephant Butte Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, showing the complex water management system of the Rio Grande as it appeared in the early 1960s with 1980 revisions. The sheet highlights the critical infrastructure of the Conveyance Channel and the Reservation Boundary that separates the river valley from the vast Pedro Armendaris Grant. Topography is defined by a network of drainage systems feeding into the valley, including Quates Canyon, Lumbre Canyon, and Milligan Gulch. Transportation and land-use history are recorded through the presence of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line running along the eastern edge of the reservoir. A network of Jeep Trails provides access to remote landmarks like the Paraje Well, located on the eastern side of the river within the grant lands.
