About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate the western landscape of this Bernalillo County study, where a complex network of irrigation features like the Upper Corrales Riverside Drain and Corrales Main Canal support the agricultural heritage of Corrales. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the Sandia Mountain Wilderness and Cibola National Forest, marked by the prominent Rincon Ridge and deep incisions of Juan Tabo Canyon. This geography creates a striking contrast between the verdant river valley and the arid foothills.

Suburban development and tribal lands meet here, featuring the Pueblo of Sandia Village in the north and the sprawling northern reaches of Albuquerque. Cultural landmarks are densely mapped, including the Sandia Memory Gardens Cem and the Faith Lutheran Church Columbarium. The map also captures the intricate drainage system of the area, from the Arroyo de Domingo Baca to the North Hahn Arroyo, illustrating how the modern city manages its desert environment.
