1953 Map of Bernalillo NW

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Zia Pueblo Grant and Santa Ana Pueblo Grant meet along the high desert landscape of central New Mexico, where the Jemez River carves a broad valley through the terrain. This mid-century survey, updated in the late 1970s, documents a transition in transportation and land use as the Old Railroad Grade runs parallel to a modern Telephone Line. Remote infrastructure is sparse, characterized by the Jemez Windmill and scattered industrial markers like a Gravel Pit. The topography is defined by seasonal watercourses such as Arroyo Arenoso and Arroyo Ojito, which drain the expansive uplands of the Zia Indian Reservation. Tribal boundaries and early transportation corridors dominate the map, providing a look at the geographic limits of sovereign lands and the remains of defunct rail infrastructure that once served this high-elevation region.
