1954 Map of Sky Village

About this map

San Felipe Mesa dominates this 1950s landscape, where the remnants of former habitations are recorded as the Sky Village (Ruins) and San Francisco (Ruins). The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including Arroyo Bernardo and Arroyo Navajo, which feed toward the meandering Rio Puerco. This era shows the land utilized for ranching, with established sites such as Collier Ranch, Sandoval Ranch, and Alamo Ranch distributed across the territory.
