1958 Map of Albuquerque

About this map

Mount Taylor dominates the western horizon of this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where ancient indigenous settlements and modern scientific research facilities coexist. The Rio Grande corridor serves as the primary artery for growth, linking the expanding city of Albuquerque with historic sites such as Santo Domingo Pueblo and San Felipe Pueblo. This era reflects a significant transition in land use, as traditional ranching and farming areas around Bernalillo and Corrales began to interface with federal installations like Sandia Base and Kirtland Air Force Base.
