1952 Map of Post Office Flat

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

The Cibola National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the early 1950s, where the Continental Divide traverses the Zuni Mountains along Oso Ridge. This period represents a moment when the regional economy was transitioning from active resource extraction to older, established homesteading. The map documents industrial history with the Sawmill (Aban'd) near Sawyer and the Mirabal Mine tucked into Diene Canyon. Local family history is preserved through labels like Serna Homestead and Wilcoxson Ranch, marking the human presence in this rugged terrain. Small outposts such as Copperton and Ojitos are situated south of Post Office Flat, while the waters of Bluewater Creek and Agua Media carve through canyons like Ojo Redondo Canyon, illustrating the vital water sources of the New Mexico interior.
