1961 Map of Sandia Crest

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Sandia Mountains dominate this 1961 landscape, rising sharply from the western high desert floor into the high elevations of the Cibola National Forest. This era shows a transition toward recreation and winter sports, with the La Madera Ski Area and Tree Spring Winter Sports Area established alongside numerous mountain shelters such as Kiwani Cabin and Juan Tabo Cabin. The map details the complex land tenure of the region, including the Sandia Pueblo Grant and the Elena Gallegos lands, separated from the national forest by an approximate grant boundary.
