1954 Map of Edgewood

About this map

Edgewood serves as the focal point of this high-desert landscape where the borders of Bernalillo, Santa Fe, and Torrance counties converge. The mapping captures a distinct ranching economy, documented through numerous family-named homesteads such as Bella Vista Ranch, Lacy Place, and Briggs Place. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and a prominent Telephone Line cutting diagonally across the terrain reflects the transportation and communication corridors that historically connected these high-altitude settlements.
