Searching for History: Las Vegas,NM

The town is immensely proud of its 900+ houses in the Historic Register, but actually locating them is another issue. Signs like this one are sprinkled throughout town and each points to 2-3 homes, but there is no master list or city map that I could find. The closest I came to a map was a xerox of a xerox that the kind folks at the Plaza Hotel gave me. An internet search for the houses gave me almost 10 pages of homes and areas. With my xerox xerox map and huge list, it still took an hour to even narrow down parts of the city to visit.
