About this map

The Rio Grande cuts through the center of this modern landscape, serving as a corridor for the Albuquerque Bosque Singletrack and a dividing line between historic neighborhoods. To the west, the volcanic terrain of the Petroglyph National Monument rises from Rinconada Canyon, while the eastern banks are dense with the established grid of Albuquerque. Traditional communities like Old Town, Atrisco, and Los Duranés remain clearly defined, connected by crossings such as the Old Town Bridge and Barelas Bridge.

Genealogical and local history markers are prevalent throughout the valley, including the San Jose de Armijo Cem and Mount Calvary Cem. The reach of transportation and infrastructure is evident in the BNSF Railway lines and the proximity of the Albuquerque International Sunport. This survey captures the evolution of the South Valley and Kirtland Addition, showing how early settlements have integrated into the contemporary metropolitan framework.
