1964 Map of Sand Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cebollita Mesa dominates the eastern half of this landscape, rising above a network of drainages that includes Cebolla Creek and Sand Canyon. The map details a rugged transition from the volcanic flows of The Lava and Malpais in the northwest to the complex canyon systems of the southeast. Ranching and water management are the primary human imprints on this terrain, evidenced by the numerous named water sources such as Armijo Spring and a series of remote windmills including Henson No 1 Windmill, Indian Windmill, and Woods No 1 Windmill. To the east, the Acoma Indian Reservation boundary indicates the intersection of tribal lands and the public domain. The presence of Homestead Canyon and Armijo Canyon suggests the historical movement of settlers and seasonal livestock through these high-desert corridors during the mid-20th century.
