About this map

San Antonito and Sandia Park serve as central points in this landscape where mountain canyons meet high-desert arroyos. The map illustrates a developed network of residential communities and rural outposts, including Sandia Knolls and the modern residential layout of Paako Communities. Mining history is evident through several named sites such as the Mohawk, Chief and Lion Mine and Tocco Mine, indicating the mineral interest in the areas surrounding Monte Largo.

Drainage patterns are defined by numerous seasonal waterways like San Pedro Creek and Arroyo San Antonio, which carve through terrains such as Tecolote Canyon. For local historians and genealogists, the map provides specific locations for the La Madera Cemetery and several community hubs like the La Madera Post Office and Cedar Crest Post Office. The presence of Camp Campbell and the San Pedro Overlook further highlights the area's mix of recreational and residential land use.
