1990 Map of La Mesita Negra SE

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

The Town of Atrisco and the southern fringes of the West Mesa are captured here in the early 1990s, showcasing the intersection of suburban expansion and ancient volcanic landscapes. To the northeast, the Petroglyph National Monument protects a significant geological and cultural area, while modern infrastructure like Central Avenue and the I 40 corridor push westward through the high desert. The landscape is characterized by shifting Dunes and Sand in the El Rincon area, alongside modern technical installations including a Radar Facility and several Communication Towers. The map provides a look at late 20th-century development on the Albuquerque periphery, from the established Pajarito boundary to newer residential areas such as Westgate Heights Park and local Mobile Home Park sites. This survey records the region just as the urban footprint began to significantly encounter the volcanic escarpment.
