1952 Map of Paxton Springs

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in the Zuni Mountains, marking a significant topographical crest within the Cibola National Forest. The map centers on the small settlement area of Paxton Springs, where the namesake Paxton Spring and nearby Agua Fria Spring provided critical water sources in a semi-arid environment. The presence of a Cinder Pit and a prominent Telephone Line indicates localized industrial and infrastructural development amidst the complex drainage systems of La Jara Canyon and Agua Fria Canyon. To the northeast, the terrain shifts toward San Rafael Mesa and the volcanic features near Malpais Spring, showing the distinct geological transition between mountain ridges and high lava plateaus.
