1963 Map of San Juan

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Pecos River carves through the northeastern corner of this high-desert landscape, where the Santa Fe National Forest meets the rugged breaks of La Cabra Mesa. During the early 1960s, the region was defined by a sparse network of traditional Hispanic settlements and family ranching operations. Significant landmarks include the village of San Juan, the small community of El Cerrito Santa Cruz, and scattered ranchsteads such as Romero Ranch and Quintana Ranch. The topography is dominated by an intricate system of deep canyons and mesas, including Cañon de los Maderos and Mesa Segura. Local social and spiritual life is anchored by landmarks like Dahlia Ch and various cemeteries, while the placement of La Gotera Well underscores the critical importance of water management in this arid territory.
