1990 Map of Placitas
USGS Topo · Published 1998About this map
Placitas and the surrounding high desert terrain are defined by the dramatic rise of the Sandia Mountains and the intricate drainage systems of the Cibola National Forest. The map documents a landscape where traditional water management, such as the Algodones Ditch and the Algodones Levee, meets the natural hydrology of numerous arroyos like Arroyo de las Huertas and Arroyo del Tejon. Cultural history is anchored by the Sandia Man Cave and the boundaries of the San Felipe Indian Reservation and Santa Ana Indian Reservation.
