1952 Map of Valle Toledo

About this map

Baca Location No 1 dominates this high-altitude landscape, a massive private land grant defined by dramatic volcanic features and mountain meadows. The terrain is a complex of volcanic domes including Cerro Del Medio, Cerro Rubio, and Cerro Piñon, interspersed with broad valles like Valle San Antonio and Valle de los Posos. Water systems radiate from these peaks, with San Antonio Creek and Turkey Creek carving deep drainages into the Sierra de Toledo. The eastern edge of the survey reveals the boundaries of the Santa Clara Indian Reservation and the Santa Fe National Forest. This mapping captures the area before modern development, showing the early routes of the Camp May Trail and the Quemazon Trail ascending toward Pajarito Mountain.
