1959 Map of Sierra Alta

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Rio Grande waters flow through the eastern edge of this 1959 survey, where the Rincon Valley meets the high, arroyo-cut desert of northern Doa Ana County. The map documents a landscape defined by ranching and water management, featuring family-named sites such as Haynor Ranch and Kimball Place. Cattle tanks like Hurdler Tank and Brewster Tank are scattered across the broken terrain, which rises toward the peak of Sierra Alta and the volcanic prominence of Sierra Kemado.
