1961 Map of Whitehorse

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico, separating the drainage of the Fajada Wash from the headwaters of the North Fork Arroyo Chico. At the heart of the area is the settlement of Whitehorse, which by the early 1960s featured a dedicated Landing Strip and utility infrastructure like a Sewage Disposal site. This remote terrain is characterized by massive landforms such as Chaco Mesa and Mesa Alta, where water management was critical for survival and ranching.
