About this map

Alamo Band Indian Reservation and the southern reaches of the Cibola National Forest define the landscape in this mid-1990s survey of Socorro County. The terrain is marked by the dramatic elevation of Table Mountain and the distinct volcanic profiles of the Tres Hermanos Peaks. This arid region relies on scattered water sources and infrastructure, such as Benevides Tank, Blue Windmill, and Bugger Well, to support ranching operations like the Red Lake Ranch and Tres Hermanos Ranch.

Cultural and community life centers on the Alamo Mission and Alamo Day Sch located near the banks of the Rio Salado. The mapping reflects a working landscape where remote landing strips and rugged canyons, including Jaramillo Canyon and Dog Springs Canyon, connect isolated settlements. The integration of Forest Service data and geological survey records provides a detailed look at the interface between tribal lands and national forest boundaries during this era.
