This planned subdivision was originally platted in 1924 for 2 blocks with lots 1-4 & 1-10. The original plat drawing puts its location in between 2nd and 3rd Streets, with Southern Ave. separating the two blocks. When redrawn, the intended location is shown to be in the present day area of South Barelas Industrial Park, lots C2 & B1A. This is also the present day location of the MRGCD office.

The Digital Sanborn Maps collection is a browsable set of thousands of digitized images of the 1867–1970 Sanborn maps for cities and towns in New Mexico.
The maps contain information such as the outline of each building, the size, shape and construction materials, heights, and function of structures, location of windows and doors. The maps also give street names, street and sidewalk widths, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers.
