About this map

The Rio Grande and its associated irrigation network, including the Corrales Lateral and Alameda Drain, define the corridor between Corrales and the expanding northern reaches of Albuquerque. This 2017 survey shows a complex suburban landscape where the historic Pueblo of Sandia Village meets modern educational hubs like the Univ of Phoenix New Mexico Campus. The area's cultural history is marked by numerous dedicated grounds such as San Ysidro Cem and the Gate of Heaven Catholic Cem.

To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Cibola National Forest, where the Rincon Ridge overlooks deeply cut landmarks like Juan Tabo Canyon and Jaral Canyon. The transition from the river valley's greenery at the Corrales Bosque to the arid eastern foothills is traced by a series of drainage ways, including Arroyo de Domingo Baca and Bear Canyon Arroyo, which dictate the modern street grid of Alameda and North Valley.
