1952 Map of Turquoise Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1993

About this map

Turquoise Hill and the surrounding high desert terrain south of Santa Fe reveal a landscape defined by ranching grants and early mining efforts. In this mid-century survey, updated with 1990s data, the industrial and civic expansion of the area is evident, from the Santa Fe County Municipal Airport in the north to the New Mexico State Penitentiary and the National Guard Armory. Mining heritage is preserved in labels for the Marshal Bonanza Mine (Site) and various gravel and cinder pits scattered through the Cerrillos Hills. Water management is central to life here, marked by an Aqueduct, Flume, and several drainages like Arroyo de los Chamisos and Cienega Creek. The presence of the Pacheco Grant and Cieneguilla Grant reflects the region's historical land tenure system, while newer developments like The Downs at Santa Fe show the transition toward modern recreation.
