1960 Map of Albuquerque East

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Albuquerque is shown in a phase of rapid mid-century eastward expansion, pushing past the University of New Mexico and State Fairgrounds toward the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. This 1960 edition, with revisions through 1972, documents the sprawling residential growth of neighborhoods like Hoffman Town, Vista Encantada, and Mesa Village. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling federal footprint of Kirtland Air Force Base and the Sandia Military Reservation, highlighting the city's critical role in national defense and scientific research during the Cold War era.
