1961 Map of Sandia Crest

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

The Sandia Mountains dominate this 1961 survey, revealing a landscape defined by the tension between early recreational development and ancient land grants. Within the Cibola National Forest, the map traces the rise of high-altitude leisure, from the Tree Spring Winter Sports Area and La Madera Ski Area to the remote Kiwani Cabin near the 10,678-foot peak. A quiet industrial history is marked by the La Luz Mine and the presence of numerous Radio Towers atop the crest.
