1960 Map of Los Griegos

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Rio Grande valley north of Albuquerque is defined by a dense network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Corrales Main Canal and the Albuquerque Riverside Drain. This mid-century landscape shows the transition from historic land grants like the Town of Alameda Grant to burgeoning suburban developments. The map reveals the expansion of Rio Rancho Estates and Paradise Hills onto the western mesas, contrasting with the established agrarian character of Los Poblanos Ranch and Corrales along the riverbanks. Civil and educational life is well-documented through landmarks like the Alameda Airport, St Joseph College, and numerous neighborhood institutions such as Griegos Sch and Trinity Sch. The inclusion of various laterals and drains, such as the Griegos Lateral and Chamizal Lateral, illustrates the complex water management essential to the valley’s local economy and settlement pattern during this era.
