1954 Map of Loma Machete

About this map

The Town of Alameda Grant dominates the southern landscape of this mid-century topographic study, revealing a complex network of ephemeral drainages and land divisions in Sandoval County. The terrain is characterized by numerous prominent mesas and peaks, including Picuda Peak, Loma Machete, and Loma Colorado de Abajo, which rise above the intricate system of arroyos. Water management and infrastructure are evident through the presence of a mapped Aqueduct, several Pipe Lines, and scattered features like a Windmill and a Water Tank, reflecting the challenges of this arid environment.
