1965 Map of Shady Brook

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Rio Fernando de Taos cuts through the high Sangre de Cristo landscape, anchoring a network of canyons and forest roads in the mid-1960s. The settlement at Shady Brook and the development at Valle Escondido sit near the northern boundary, while the Carson National Forest and Rancho del Rio Grande land grant dominate the southern terrain. This survey captures a specific era of mountain recreation and ranching history, evidenced by Capulin Campground and numerous named canyons like Mondragon Canyon and Mascareñas Canyon that reflect local family heritage. The network of high-altitude drainages, including Rito de la Olla and Rito Quien Sabe, shows the complex hydrology of the Taos and Mora County border. Cultural landmarks such as a high-altitude Cem and Bernardin Lake provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians.
