2006 Map of Alameda

About this map

The Rio Grande divides this landscape, with the historic Alameda and Corrales areas flanking its banks. Irrigation and drainage are critical to the river corridor, evidenced by the Corrales Main Canal and West Sandia Riverside Drain. To the east, the Sandia Indian Reservation and Sandia Pueblo Grant encompass the rising terrain of the Sandia Mountains, where Rincon Ridge and Pino Canyon overlook the growing northern reaches of Albuquerque. The map documents a blend of traditional land grants and modern suburban expansion, featuring landmarks like the International Balloon Museum near Balloon Fiesta Park. Local community life is centered around numerous institutions, from the Albuquerque LDS Temple and San Ysidro Church to the sprawling Albuquerque Academy campus and several cemeteries such as Gate of Heaven Cem.
