1961 Map of Piedra De La Aguila

About this map

Voght Place and Inditos sit within a landscape of ephemeral drainage systems and high-desert basins in McKinley County. This 1961 field-checked map records a network of ranching outposts and livestock water sources, including the isolated Four Corners Cow Camp and named holdings like Rancho Eufelia and Rancho Felix. The terrain is defined by the complex branching of Arroyo Leon and its north and south forks, feeding into several named lagunas such as Laguna Huero and Laguna Trujillo. The presence of several cattle-related features and scattered wells, such as Gato Well and Junior Wells, illustrates the reliance on groundwater for high-plateau agriculture. Prominent landmarks like the Piedra de la Aguila and the southern Banco del Encierro provide topographical orientation across the expansive mesa country.
