2010 Map of Bernalillo NW

About this map

The Jemez River corridor defines the northeastern landscape of this portion of Sandoval County, cutting a distinct path through the arid high-desert terrain. Flowing southeast toward the Rio Grande valley, the river is flanked by the braided drainage systems of Arroyo Arenoso and Arroyo Otto, which illustrate the region's episodic water patterns and erosion-carved topography. A single man-made landmark, the Jemez Windmill, stands as a testament to the essential role of water management in this sparsely developed rangeland. The map provides a detailed view of the primary transit corridor through the area, capturing the intersection of natural watercourses and modern highway infrastructure during the early 21st century.
