DescriptionA map showing settled and platted neighborhoods east of the Rio Grande River. The neighborhood southeast of the railroad tracks was named after German immigrant Franz Huning, who developed Huning's Highland Addition. Many streets in the Highland Addition are named after Albuquerque citizens. Maps in this period were less about the journeys of the colonial period and became about where settlers were staking claim to land and gave insight not only into their naming practices but also who they believed to be prominent figures at the time. There is a detail section focusing on one part of the Rio Grande and the plots of land around it on the left side, a long index on the right of markers on the map, and the title and manufacturer on the bottom.On View
