About this map

The Pueblo of Isleta Grant and the Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation dominate the southern half of this landscape, where the terrain shifts from the open expanses of McCormick Ranch into the deep drainage of Hells Canyon. To the north, the sprawling infrastructure of Kirtland Air Force Base is marked by a Heliport and extensive military reservation boundaries, indicating the mid-century expansion of defense operations south of Albuquerque.

Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Hubbell Spring, Ojo de la Cabra, and several Windmill sites. Cultural and surveying history is preserved through features such as a small Cem near Hells Canyon Wash and the Bernaval Azimuth Mark located along the Bernalillo and Valencia county line. The map also captures industrial activity with several Pits and a prominent Pipeline cutting across the Isleta lands.
