2020 Map of Belen NW

About this map

The Rio Puerco carves a winding path through this corner of Valencia County, defining a landscape marked by drainage patterns and water management. Modern infrastructure like Marble Quarry Rd provides access across the arid terrain, while several localized catchments including Guzman Reservoir, Target Reservoir, and Metate Reservoir highlight the region's reliance on managed water resources. These features, along with the deep cuts of the Arroyo Monte Belen, reflect a topography shaped by seasonal runoff. The map's grid system reveals the systematic division of public lands, providing a clear view of the township and range boundaries that organize this part of New Mexico.
