1954 Map of Sedillo

About this map

Cibola National Forest and the Cañon de Carnue Grant define the complex land divisions of this mid-century New Mexico landscape. The area is characterized by a series of significant drainages including Tijeras Canyon, Gutierrez Canyon, and Sedillo Canyon, which dictate the placement of local settlements and travel routes. Small mountain communities such as Cedar Crest, Zamora, and Los Pinos are clustered along these corridors. A unique glimpse into specialized local industry is preserved with the labeling of the Riedmont Fur Farm (Aband), while the higher elevations of the Manzano Mountains rise toward Cedro Peak, marked with a beacon. The map provides a detailed view of the Forest Boundary and early communication infrastructure indicated by a prominent Telephone Line crossing the terrain.
