1963 Map of Tayfoya Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The high desert landscape of Rio Arriba County is defined here by the intricate drainage systems of Largo Canyon and its many tributaries, including Tayfoya Canyon and Escrito Canyon. During the early 1960s, this region was a hub of energy development within the San Juan Basin gas field, evidenced by the dense network of gas wells, oil wells, and pipelines that crisscross the terrain. The western edge of the Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation occupies the eastern portion of the map, where the Lindrith Pumping Station serves as a critical infrastructure point. Isolated ranching outposts like Old Rock Ranch, Mastico Ranch, and Otero Ranch provide glimpses into the rural settlement patterns of the era, while a remote landing strip and a series of unimproved roads highlight the logistical challenges of navigating this canyon-cut territory.
