About this map

The Rio Grande corridor serves as the central spine of this 1960 revision, where the historical footprint of the Town of Albuquerque Grant meets a rapidly expanding urban landscape. West of the river, the Atriso Grant Boundary defines a vast area of mesas and gravel pits, while the valley floor is crisscrossed by an intricate network of irrigation features like the Albuquerque Riverside Drain and Arenal Canal. This infrastructure supported long-standing agricultural communities such as Los Duranes, Atrisco, and Arenal that were increasingly transitioning into suburban neighborhoods.
