1955 Map of Tortugas Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Tortugas Mountain dominates this arid landscape, standing east of the growing campus of New Mexico State College. The map reveals a transition between academic expansion and the historic vestiges of the Rio Grande valley, evidenced by the Fort Fillmore (Ruins) and the Tortugas Cem further south. A network of flood control structures, including the Alameda Dam and North Fork Dam, underscores the ongoing effort to manage the runoff from intermittent watercourses like the Alameda Arroyo.
