1952 Map of Dalies NW

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Rio Puerco meanders through a landscape defined by significant historic land partitions in this 1952 survey of the high desert south of Albuquerque. The terrain is divided into expansive historic tracts, most notably the Isleta Pueblo Indian Land Grant, alongside the Antonio Sedillo Grant and the Pajarito Grant. These Spanish and Pueblo land divisions create a complex boundary network that shaped local movement and land use for centuries. A single Community Well serves as a vital marker of human habitation and infrastructure in this arid environment. The map also captures the New Mexico Principal Meridian, a crucial baseline for the Public Land Survey System in the Southwest. The interaction between the winding riverbed and the rigid rectilinear survey lines illustrates the overlay of modern administrative mapping on ancient territorial boundaries.
