1960 Map of Taos Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Taos Junction serves as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape where the high plains meet the intricate drainages of the Carson National Forest. The map documents a rugged topography defined by the Comanche Rim and dramatic elevations like Cerro Azul and Mesa Vibora. While the settlement of Solo and the locality of Comanche appear as small outposts, much of the human footprint is defined by utility and transit. An Old Railroad Grade snakes through the northern sections, marking a legacy of mountain transport, while modern Radio Towers sit atop the ridges. Water management is evident in the numerous arroyos and canyons, including Arroyo Stevens and Arroyo Sandlin, alongside the Martinez Tank, reflecting the essential nature of water resources in this arid terrain along the Rio Arriba Co Taos Co boundary line.
