2006 Map of Placitas
USGS Topo · Published 2007About this map
Placitas sits at the foot of the northern Sandia Mountain range, where the high desert meets the wooded slopes of the Cibola National Forest. The landscape is a complex patchwork of land grants and tribal territories, including the San Felipe Indian Reservation and the San Antonio de las Huertas Grant. This geography reveals a long history of water management and resource extraction, with numerous drainage systems like Arroyo de las Huertas and evidence of small-scale mining at the Strip Mine and Coal Mine south of Placitas Homesteads.
