1967 Map of Sanchez Reservoir

About this map

Sanchez Reservoir and the high terrain of San Pedro Mesa anchor this 1967 survey of Costilla County. The landscape is defined by the massive Sangre de Cristo Grant, where water management and ranching infrastructure dictate the local geography. The reservoir itself is fed by a network of drainage systems, including Ventero Creek and Torcido Creek, while the Sanchez Canal carries water through the eastern flats.
