1956 Map of South Garcia

About this map

The Laguna Indian Reservation and Isleta Pueblo Grant dominate this mid-century New Mexican landscape, where the high desert is carved by the Rio San Jose and Rio Puerco. The Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad corridor provides a vital transportation spine, serving small trackside stops like Correo and Suwanee. This era reveals a ranching economy reliant on a network of remote water sources, including Mc Gaughys Windmill and the T X Ranch.
