1960 Map of Alameda

About this map

The Rio Grande valley north of Albuquerque reveals a landscape transitioning from traditional irrigation systems to mid-century suburban expansion. In the 1960s, the village of Corrales maintained its rural character with the San Ysidro Ch and Sandoval Sch at its heart, supported by a dense network of waterways including the Corrales Main Canal and Corrales Drain. To the east, the vast expanse of the Sandia Pueblo and the foothills of the Cibola National Forest contrast sharply with the developing residential grids of Ranchitos and Alameda.
