1966 Map of Red Horse Gulch

About this map

The Southern Ute Indian Reservation dominates this 1960s landscape, where the high desert terrain of the Colorado-New Mexico border is marked by a high density of archaeological sites. Numerous Indian Ruins and Cliff Dwellings are identified along the canyon walls, particularly surrounding Johnson Canyon and Mancos Spring. This map reflects a period of modern resource development overlaid upon ancient foundations, evidenced by the presence of a Gas Well and several Drill Hole sites scattered among the mesas. Water management is a central theme in this arid environment, shown through features like Floyd Reservoir, Peterson Reservoir, and First Reservoir. The presence of the Mountain View Sch near the northern boundary provides a rare point of community infrastructure in a territory otherwise defined by winding drainages like Red Horse Gulch and Barker Arroyo.
