2020 Map of Bernalillo NW

About this map

The northern reaches of Rio Rancho extend into a landscape defined by deep arroyos and the broad, seasonal channel of the Jemez River. This survey captures the transition from the city's expanding residential grid into the open terrain of Sandoval County, where drainage systems like Arroyo Arenoso and Arroyo Ojito carve through the high desert plateau. The map details a network of service roads, including Indian Svc Rte 785 and Indian Svc Rte 74, which provide access across the township and range divisions. This 2020 record illustrates the modern spatial relationship between the northernmost suburban developments of Rio Rancho and the unpopulated mesas and washes that characterize the Rio Grande Valley hinterlands.
