1950 Map of Sierra Blanca Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Sierra Blanca Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation and the Lincoln National Forest. The map details the intricate watershed of the Sacramento Mountains, where the North Fork Rio Ruidoso and South Fork Rio Ruidoso begin their descent. This mid-century survey reveals a transition from the rugged mountain heights to the desert drainage systems of Three Rivers and Golondrina Draw. Local landmarks like Nogal Peak and Black Mountain define the horizon, while smaller features such as Cienegita Spring and Sulphur Spring indicate critical water sources in this arid environment. The map also records the winding paths of Rio Bonito and Eagle Creek, illustrating the natural barriers and resources that shaped the settlement of Otero and Lincoln counties.
