1954 Map of Sandia Crest

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Sandia Mountains dominate this mid-century survey, revealing a landscape defined by the convergence of Spanish land grant boundaries and modern recreation. The western slopes are divided between the Sandia Pueblo Grant and the Elena Gallegos Grant, highlighting the complex colonial and indigenous land tenure that persisted well into the 1950s. Near the summit, the presence of Radio and TV Towers at Sandia Crest marks the era’s technological expansion above the traditional trails.
