1961 Map of Puerco Dam

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Rio Puerco drainage system dominates this high-desert landscape of Sandoval County, where the transition from flat mesa tops to deep arroyo carving is evident. Significant land grants and tribal territories define the human geography, notably the Laguna Indian Reservation Montaño Bernabe and the Nuestra Señora de la Luz de las Lagunitas. These boundaries cut across a terrain shaped by seasonal waterflow, where features like Salado Creek and Arroyo Cuervo provide the primary geographical markers.
