1961 Map of Rosilla Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Pecos River carves a deep north-south corridor through the heart of the Santa Fe National Forest, serving as the primary anchor for human activity in this high-altitude landscape. During the late 1950s and early 1960s, this area functioned as a hub for both industry and recreation, evidenced by the presence of Terrero and its associated post office near the confluence with Holy Ghost Creek. The mapping of El Macho as a site suggests the transitory nature of early mountain settlements, while the Jones Mine tucked into the western ridges reflects the era's mineral prospecting. Recreational development is prominent along the canyon floor, with Camp La Salle, Field Tract Campground, and the Dalton Picnic Area clustered near the water. On the eastern heights, landmarks like Rosilla Peak and Viveash Mesa overlook a network of trails, including the Sawyer Trail, which connect high-country ranching outposts like Martin Ranch.
