1960 Map of Stanley
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Stanley serves as the primary hub for this high-desert ranching landscape along the border of Santa Fe Co and Torrance Co. The settlement pattern is defined by widely dispersed family holdings and livestock operations, such as the Fisher Ranch and Erramousbe Ranch, which are situated to navigate the drainage systems of Kinsell Draw and Armijo Draw. The map documents a transition in land use, showing the presence of the Moriarty Air Force Sta near the southern boundary alongside traditional water features like Stinking Spring and White Lakes. Geologic and historic landmarks are prominent, notably El Cuervo Butte and the San Cristobal Grant Boundary, reflecting the complex history of Spanish land grants in New Mexico. Genealogists will find the Stanley Cem and numerous named windmills and tanks essential for locating ancestral ranching sites.
