About this map

The Jicarilla Mountains dominate the northern terrain of this New Mexico landscape, where the settlement of Jicarilla remains a focal point for local history. This area, largely contained within the Lincoln National Forest, reflects a legacy of resource extraction and high-altitude ranching. Evidence of early infrastructure is visible through the Jicarilla Sch and the Jicarilla Cem, while numerous notations for prospects and mines dot the slopes of Ancho Peak and the surrounding gulches.

Southward, the topography shifts toward the open draws and mesas of Reventon and Castle Garden Mesa. The map records a network of family-named landmarks and water sources essential for survival in this arid environment, such as the Ramsdale Place, Snow Ranch, and Dose Ranch. Vital water infrastructure is meticulously noted, from the Section 18 Tank to a series of wind-powered wells including the Golden Gate Windmill and Lacy Windmill.
