1952 Map of Rio Puerco

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

The Rio Puerco riverbed and its surrounding flood control systems dominate this mid-century New Mexican landscape. Extensive land grants define the geography, including the San Clemente Grant and the Isleta Indian Reservation, illustrating the complex historical property divisions of the region. Transportation and infrastructure are concentrated along the river valley, where the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad line runs parallel to the water's course. A protective Levee and a Gaging Station indicate the critical role of water management in this arid environment. To the south, Hidden Mountain rises as a prominent landmark near the boundary of the Nicolas Duran de Chavez Grant, while the high Mesa to the north overlooks the Gutierrez and Sedillo Grant and the Antonio Sedillo Grant.
