1960 Map of Los Griegos

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Rio Grande valley north of Albuquerque reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure. This survey captures a period of significant transition as residential developments like Lee Acres and Ranchitos began to fill the fertile lands between the river and the arid western mesas. The valley floor is crisscrossed by essential water systems including the Corrales Main Canal, Albuquerque Main Canal, and Griegos Drain, reflecting the area's agricultural foundation. In the village of Los Griegos, local institutions such as Douglas MacArthur Sch and Trinity Sch are established, while the northern reaches maintain a more rural character with the Buena Vista Cattle Camp and Los Poblanos Ranch. The map also documents mid-century landmarks like the Alameda Airport and a drive-in theater, providing a detailed look at the suburban expansion creeping into the historic Town of Alameda.
