1990 Map of Stanley

About this map

Stanley serves as the focal point of this Santa Fe County landscape, situated where the drainage patterns of the high desert converge. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses, including Big Draw and Kamradt Draw, which carve through the open country. To the northeast, the land rises toward the distinctive Redondo and the broad expanse of Valle San Cristoval. This 1990 provisional map reflects a rural environment where infrastructure is sparse, limited primarily to water management features like the Kond R Reservoir and various water tanks. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the Stanley Cemetery and the Landon Windmill, marking long-standing family and ranching footprints in the region. The map also records the presence of a Radio Tower and industrial sites such as a Gravel Pit, indicating the modest technological and commercial layers added to this traditional ranching territory.
