1963 Map of Las Vegas NW

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Las Vegas Grant Boundary defines much of this northern New Mexico landscape in the early 1960s, where traditional land use and modern infrastructure meet. High-altitude water management is central to the area, evidenced by Storrie Lake and its associated Storrie Lake Intake Canal and Storrie Project Irrigation Canal, which feed the surrounding agricultural efforts. Near the northern edge of Las Vegas City, the map shows a transition from urban development to the high plains, featuring landmarks such as the Las Vegas Municipal Airport and the Drive-in Theater. Small settlements like Los Alamos and Emplazado sit near the Sapello River, while the southern portion reveals the cultural heritage of the region through St Anthonys Cemetery and North Pilgrims Rest Cemetery. The historic Old Santa Fe Trail runs alongside the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, tracing the path of westward expansion.
