1954 Map of La Mesita Negra SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Town Of Atrisco Grant and Pajarito Grant define the land ownership and survey boundaries of this New Mexico landscape west of Albuquerque. Surveyed in 1954 and updated with mid-1970s revisions, the map reveals a transition toward modern infrastructure atop traditional Spanish land grants. The high desert floor of El Rincon is punctuated by mid-century technological landmarks, including a CAA Beacon, a TV Tower, and a Radio Relay Tower. These structures, alongside the dual alignment of 66 40, demonstrate the corridor's role in regional communication and transportation. Evidence of localized industry appears through several Gravel Pits (Inactive) and an Oil Well (Aband), reflecting the extraction efforts that preceded later urban expansion into these mesas.
