2023 Map of Placitas
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Sandia Mountains dominate the southern landscape of this New Mexico quadrangle, where the high peaks of the Sandia Mountain Wilderness and Cibola National Forest give way to a complex network of arroyos and canyons. Settlement is concentrated along the northern corridor and the foothills, featuring the historic lands of Santa Ana Pueblo and the communities of Algodones and Placitas. The map reveals a transition from the riparian environment of Las Huertas Creek to the sharp rises of the Crest of Montezuma. Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial sites, including the Algodones Cem and the San Antonio de Las Huertas Land Grant Cem, which reflect the deep roots of the land grant and pueblo systems in Sandoval County.
