1934 Map of East Albuquerque

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

Albuquerque's eastern edge is documented here during a period of significant institutional expansion and federal investment. The burgeoning campus of the University of New Mexico stands as a central landmark, while the presence of the U S Indian Hospital and the U S Veterans Hospital underscores the city's role as a regional center for healthcare and government services. Outside the established City Limits, the landscape transitions into a more rural and industrial character, evidenced by the Hicks Dairy operation near the mouth of Tijeras Canyon. Transportation infrastructure of the era is clearly defined by U S Highway No 366 and the Albuquerque Landing Field, which represent the early twentieth-century shift toward motorized and aerial travel. This survey, conducted as a County Emergency Relief project, provides a rare look at the city's perimeter before the post-war housing boom transformed these high-desert fringes into suburban neighborhoods.
