1991 Map of Wind Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation lands dominate this high-desert landscape south of Albuquerque, defined by extensive volcanic features. The prominent Wind Mesa and nearby Blackbird Hill are capped with deposits of Lava, reflecting the geological character of the Rio Grande rift. This 1991 revision shows a topography carved by drainage systems like Cedar Wash, which cuts across the southeastern portion of the Pueblo of Isleta Grant. To the north, the boundary with the Pajarito Grant is clearly delineated, marking historical land divisions that persist into the modern era. Isolated Windmills are scattered across the terrain, indicating the ongoing reliance on groundwater in this arid environment near Sandy Point.
