1934 Map of Alameda

About this map

The Rio Grande valley north of Albuquerque serves as a focal point for this 1934 survey, showcasing a complex irrigation network vital to the region's agricultural life. Engineered waterways like the Albuquerque Main Canal, Corrales Lateral, and Riverside Drain lattice the floodplain, defining the settlement patterns of Alameda. This era represents a significant technological transition for the valley, where the newly established KOB Radio Transmitter stands near the traditional land boundaries of the Sandia Pueblo Grant and Elena Gallegos Grant.
