1990 Map of Alameda

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor north of Albuquerque serves as a critical landscape for both ancient heritage and modern recreation. The northern reaches are dominated by the Sandia Indian Reservation and the Pueblo of Sandia, while the river itself is managed through a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure including the Albuquerque Riverside Drain and Corrales Main Canal. Residential expansion is evident in the neighborhoods of Alameda and Ranchitos, stretching toward the foothills of the Cibola National Forest. This era shows a community balancing industry and leisure, with the Reeves Power Plant and various Gravel Pits situated near vast green spaces like Balloon Fiesta Park and the Tanoan Country Club. Cultural and educational landmarks, from the San Carlos Cemetery to the Albuquerque Academy, illustrate the long-term settlement patterns of Bernalillo County.
