1954 Map of La Mesita Negra SE

About this map

The Town of Atrisco Grant and Pajarito Grant dominate this mid-century landscape west of the Rio Grande valley, where historical land tenure patterns meet the emerging infrastructure of the 1950s. The survey captures a critical corridor of western travel, anchored by the iconic alignment of Route 66, which cuts through the high desert terrain. The map documents early telecommunications and aviation markers necessary for navigating this open space, including a CAA Beacon, a TV Tower, and a Radio Relay Tower.
