1971 Map of Yankee

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Barela Mesa and Johnson Mesa dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Colorado and New Mexico border in the early 1970s. The settlement of Yankee sits at the junction of the Yankee East Fork Canyon and the East Fork, reflecting a history of resource extraction shown through numerous Mines and Prospects scattered across the surrounding slopes. An Old Railroad Grade winds along Chicorica Creek near Carisbrook, tracing a path past Maloya Lake toward the nearby ski basin. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes at Manco Burro Pass and prominent summits like Towndrow Peak and Potato Mountain. This survey illustrates the transition from industrial mining activity to recreational land use, with several Jeep Trails cutting through the mesas once navigated by rail and heavy machinery.
