US 470 replaces NM 41/46/10 1927 Clasons

In April 1930, the New Mexico State Highway Commission decided to request that the entirety of US 470 be replaced by a rerouted US 60. In August 1930 AASHO deferred action in hopes of working out a better scheme for extending US 60 across New Mexico.
When US 70 was renumbered as US 60 across New Mexico, US 470 was renumbered as US 366 in July 1931 (AASHO). New Mexico had wondered during correspondence prior to this whether US 470 might become US 460. Today it is NM 41 through Estancia to about Alan Ayers Blvd; Salt Mission Tr/Old NM 41 east of the former RR to Moriarty; 4th St in Moriarty which no longer connects back to NM 41; NM 41 to I-40 Bus.
Here is where it gets tricky, twice. Right about the time this was all going on, the route west to Barton was changed to current NM 333. It is unclear if US 470 was still around. Second, the original routing was stair step routing and there are multiple possibiliies here. Best guess: I-40 Bus which does not connect to Green Rd north, Thomson Rd west, Martin Rd north, Dinkle Rd west.
West of Barton, US 470 used Sedillo Rd until it meets NM 333 east of Zuzax, then used North Zamora Rd on the other side of I-40 for about 2.3 miles; South Zamora Rd below I-40 to its NM 333 junction; I-40 ROW to about NM 14; NM 333 to just past the NM 337 interchange; I-40 ROW to the next big curve; NM 333 to about Exit 170 (except Atanacio Rd); mostly I-40 ROW to Exit 167; Central Ave into Albuquerque.
