1952 Map of Valle Largo

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Zuni Mountains defines this 1952 landscape, where the Continental Divide crests across the timbered slopes of the Cibola National Forest. This survey captures the rugged hydrology of the region, marked by the prominent north-south spine of Oso Ridge and the winding drainages of Agua Fria Creek and Little Water Canyon. The southern half of the map transitions into the broad opening of Valle Largo, providing a rare stretch of relatively level ground in an otherwise steeply contoured environment.
