This 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle of Bernalillo, New Mexico, is a 1954 edition revised in 1972 and printed in 1975, at a scale of 1:24,000. It covers a stretch of the Rio Grande valley in Sandoval County, taking in the town of Bernalillo, Corrales, Placitas, and Algodones, the growing community of Rio Rancho, and the lands of Santa Ana and Sandia Pueblos, with part of the Cibola National Forest to the east. Printed on thick stock and never folded, this sheet captures the valley just as Rio Rancho was beginning its transformation from ranch land into one of the state’s fastest-growing cities.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Bernalillo 7.5-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, paths, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey. A reddish tint may be used on this sheet to indicate urban areas where only landmark buildings will be shown. Outside of those areas, all known structures (houses, businesses churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
This map is from the 7.5-minute series, the most detailed series that is widely available from the USGS. The 1954 Bernalillo map is a valuable historical record for the area. It contains some placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.

The map was photorevised in 1972. Any features that changed or were added between the original edition year of 1954 and the photorevision year of 1972 are overlayed in purple. The purple overlay provides an excellent view of the fast-growing and changing areas within the quad boundary.
