DescriptionThis map contains an overhead view of Albuquerque with the direction north at the top. The city is split into different squared sections and further subdivided into different divisions marked No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3. The Rio Grande is depicted on the left side, and the rest of the map documents the location of arroyos (sandy streams), roads and proposed city growth. One section in the top right indicates a proposed target range site in a corridor shape, possibly for practice bomb drops, on the west face of the Sandia Mountains.
