1963 Map of Albuquerque

About this map

Albuquerque and the surrounding high desert terrain are documented here during a period of significant mid-century growth. The map illustrates a complex network of traditional settlements, such as San Felipe Pueblo and Santo Domingo Pueblo, situated alongside modern defense installations like Kirtland AFB and the Sandia Military Reservation. This 1963 survey captures the region's diverse landscape, from the volcanic features of the Valles Caldera and the massive Sandia Mountains to the mining activity at the Ortiz Mine.
