2010 Map of Albuquerque West

About this map

The Rio Grande flows through the heart of this 2010 survey, serving as the central artery for a complex network of historic irrigation systems including the Arenal Main Canal, Isleta Drain, and Barr Canal. These waterways define the transition between the modern urban sprawl of Albuquerque and the traditional agricultural footprints of the surrounding valley. Local history is deeply embedded in the map through numerous burial grounds such as Santa Clara Cemetery and the San Jose de Armijo Cemetery, which reflect the community's long-standing cultural roots.
