1952 Map of Turn

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor in central New Mexico defines this landscape, where irrigation infrastructure like the Jaral Lateral and Upper Sabinal Riverside Drain supports agriculture along the valley floor. The map covers a complex intersection of historic land divisions, including portions of the Tome Grant, Casa Colorada Grant, and Belen Grant. Small settlements such as Turn and Madrone are situated near the river, while the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad cuts a diagonal path across the arid terrain to the east, passing through Bodega. Infrastructure for early mid-century aviation and transit is evident through the Airway Beacon No 20 and a small Landing Strip. To the south, the Abo Arroyo marks the boundary near the Valencia Co Socorro Co line, illustrating the transition from the river valley to the higher, windmill-dotted grazing lands.
