1954 Map of Albuquerque East

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Albuquerque expansion defines this mid-century landscape as the city pushes eastward toward the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. This era is marked by the transition of open land into dense residential neighborhoods and critical infrastructure, including the sprawling University of New Mexico campus and major medical facilities like the U.S. Veterans Hospital. The layout reveals a city shaped by its post-war role as a military and scientific hub, anchored by the Kirtland Air Force Base and the Sandia Military Reservation.
