1954 Map of Torreon

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Manzano Mountains define this mid-century landscape, where Spanish land grant history meets the management of the Cibola National Forest. High peaks like Osna Peak and Manzano Peak overlook a series of drainages, including Cañon de Torreon and Cañon Largo, that descend toward the eastern plains. The map preserves a distinct record of early New Mexican land tenure, showing the boundaries for the Town of Tajique Grant, Town of Torreon Grant, and Town of Manzano Grant.
