1963 Map of Vigas Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation and Carson National Forest converge across this rugged New Mexico landscape, dominated by high mesas and deep-cut canyons. The 1960s terrain is heavily marked by the energy industry, with numerous Gas Wells and an expansive Gas Field established amidst the topography of Tuckers Ridge and Cereza Mesa. These industrial markers reflect a mid-century period of resource extraction that reshaped the remote high desert.
