1952 Map of Dalies NW

About this map

Rio Puerco meanders through this arid landscape, carving a deep valley that serves as the primary drainage for several massive land grants. The territory is defined by the intersection of the Antonio Sedillo Grant, Pajarito Grant, and Isleta Pueblo Grant, reflecting the complex historical property boundaries of the region. Surveyed in 1952, the map illustrates a landscape of high mesas and shifting Sand dunes, where human activity is limited to remote infrastructure. A Community Well in the southeastern portion of the sheet provides a rare point of water in an otherwise dry expanse, while the New Mexico Principal Meridian serves as the foundational surveying line for the entire territory. This documentation captures the area before significant modern encroachment, preserving the original configurations of the Isleta Pueblo Indian Land.
