1953 Map of Trampas

About this map

Las Trampas Grant and the Sebastian Martin Grant intersect in this mountainous landscape of northern New Mexico, where deep canyons and high mesas define the local geography. In the early 1950s, small settlements like Trampas and Escuela de Abajo clustered along the watercourses, anchored by community landmarks such as the Iglesia de Santo Tomas. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks, including Cerro de las Marquenas and Cerro Puntiagudo, while the Rio Grande flows through the Grande Canyon in the northwestern corner.
