MRGCD Map 37
The public records search brings up an Alamo subdivision that is not the same one referred to in Bernalillo County Abstract and Title Company deed book. The property the BCAT collection records refer to is in the Santa Barbara neighborhood. It was platted in 1920, predating the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District by three years. The property's legal description changed after that time. Through matching the MRGCD tract references in the deed book, we deduce that the original 18 lots are most likely those outlined in red on the accompanying map. The location is between Broadway and Edith, just north of Odelia Road.
