1954 Map of Sky Village SE

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Town of Alameda Grant dominates this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County, showing a transition between Spanish colonial land tenure and 20th-century infrastructure. This 1954 survey, updated with 1972 aerial photography, reveals a systematic grid of potential roads and fence lines beginning to overlay the natural drainage patterns of the Arroyo de las Calabacillas and Navajo Draw. While large sections remain open range, the presence of localized features like Centipede Well, Mentira Well, and various Water Tanks highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. An extensive Aqueduct and Pipe Line system further indicate the region's developing utility network during the early 1970s, as the area north of Albuquerque prepared for expansion across the Grant Boundary.
