About this map

Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-century landscape south of Albuquerque, where the high desert terrain transitions into the steep relief of Hells Canyon. The map details a complex intersection of sovereign, military, and municipal boundaries, including the southern edge of Kirtland Air Force Base and the Albuquerque Corporate Boundary. Water remains a central geographic feature in this arid environment, marked by Hubbell Spring and the braided drainage patterns of Hells Canyon Wash and Arroyo del Coyote.

Functional landmarks of the era include a Radio Facility, several Windmill locations, and a Heliport near the reservation line. For local historians, the inclusion of McCormick Ranch and a small Cem near the canyon floor provides specific points of human occupation amid the Isleta Pueblo Grant. The infrastructure of the period is further illustrated by the presence of a significant Pipeline and various Pits used for resource extraction.
