1964 Map of Pinon Hills

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The rugged topography of the Piñon Hills dominates this mid-1960s Colfax County landscape, illustrating a transition from the elevated peaks into the broader high plains. A significant portion of this terrain lies within the historic Beaubien and Miranda (Maxwell) land grant, reflecting the area's deep-rooted ranching and land tenure history. Water management and transport are key themes of the survey, with the Charette Lake Canal cutting across the southern reaches while Salado Creek winds through the northern flats. The eastern edge of the quadrangle is defined by the critical corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which provided the vital transport link for this region’s agricultural and mineral output. Industrial activity is noted by a Gravel Pit near the northern boundary, while a solitary Spring provides a vital water source in the western hills.
