1963 Map of Albuquerque
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Mount Taylor dominates the western horizon of this mid-century New Mexico landscape, a region defined by high mesas and the transition from the Chaco Divide to the Rio Grande valley. The map documents the mid-century infrastructure of the Rio Grande corridor, including the extensive operations at Kirtland AFB and the adjacent Sandia Military Reservation. To the west, the mining and ranching economy is evident near Grants and Milan, while the remote northern reaches show a network of trading posts such as Seven Lakes Trading Post and Star Lake Trading Post that served the sprawling high desert.
