1965 Map of Queens Head

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Apache National Forest and Gila National Forest converge in this mid-1960s survey of high-elevation terrain in Catron County. The landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal water management and natural springs, vital for the region's ranching and forestry operations. Named landmarks like Queens Head and Negrohead Butte rise above a series of deep drainages including Hardcastle Canyon and Bear Canyon. Human presence is marked by isolated outposts such as the Jewett Work Center and specialized improvements like East Camp Windmill and Gann Windmill. The map captures a high-country environment where water is the primary driver of development, evidenced by the numerous tanks and springs like Fitzgerald Cienega, Lower Water Spring, and Yankee Spring. This document provides an essential record of mid-century land use in the New Mexico wilderness, documenting the placement of livestock tanks and forest service infrastructure across the continental divide region.
