1952 Map of Wind Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Isleta Pueblo Grant and Pajarito Grant territory dominates this mid-century topographic survey, where the physical landscape is defined by extensive volcanic formations. The central focus is Wind Mesa, a prominent landform marked by significant deposits of Lava and flanked by Blackbird Hill. This arid environment shows very little human development outside of a few essential landmarks like a Windmill and a solitary Quarry, suggesting a landscape utilized more for resource extraction and grazing than for settlement. At the southern edge, the At&Sf railroad provides a vital transportation link across the desert floor. Drainage patterns are indicated by ephemeral features like Cedar Wash, which cuts through the sandy terrain near Sandy Point. The map provides a precise look at the overlapping boundaries and the stark geological character of Bernalillo County before modern expansion reached these mesa lands.
