2017 Map of Albuquerque East

About this map

Albuquerque is shown in its expansive modern eastern extent, where the urban grid meets the desert foothills. The transition from established neighborhoods like North Valley and Hoffmantown to the residential edges of Chelwood Park and Sandia Vista is clearly defined by a dense network of major thoroughfares including Menaul Blvd NE and Lomas Blvd NE. The southern portion of the map is dominated by large-scale infrastructure and natural barriers, most notably the Albuquerque International Sunport and the Military Res Boundary. To the east, the terrain shifts dramatically as the city enters Tijeras Canyon, a critical natural gateway. This 2017 survey documents the complex drainage systems that define the local topography, such as Arroyo del Embudo and the Tijeras Arroyo, illustrating how the modern city has integrated with the arid landscape of the Rio Grande valley.
