1938 Map of Albuquerque
USGS Topo · Published 1938About this map
The Rio Grande corridor in the late 1930s reveals a complex network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential to the valley's settlement. Numerous ditches and canals, such as the Albuquerque Lateral, Corrales Main Canal, and Barelas Ditch, weave through large land grants including the Town of Atrisco Grant and Elena Gallegos Grant. This intricate water management system supported a string of established communities like Ranchos de Albuquerque, Los Griegos, and Arenal that flourished along the river's fertile banks before the city's mid-century expansion.
