1969 Map of Salitre Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Pablo Montoya Grant Boundary cuts across the southern portion of this landscape, marking a historical transition in land tenure near the Harding and San Miguel county line. This region is defined by its dramatic drainage systems, where the winding Mosquero Creek and Atarque Creek carve through the mesas. The presence of Mosquero Creek Ch and isolated outposts like Trujillo Ranch and McIntosh Camp suggests a dispersed ranching economy centered on reliable water sources. Vital to life in this arid terrain are the numerous named wells and improvements, including McIntosh Windmill, Salitre Well, and Jose Well, which supported both livestock and the few established residences during the late 1960s.
