2020 Map of Bernalillo

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor serves as the central artery for this region, where the historical footprint of Sandia Pueblo and Santa Ana Pueblo meets modern development. In the eastern valley, the irrigation network of the Bernalillo Acequia and Sandia Acequia reflects a long-standing agricultural tradition that persists alongside the growing infrastructure of Bernalillo. Prominent geological landmarks like Canjilon Hill and the Bernalillo Plug rise above the river plains, while the western bluffs show the residential expansion of Rio Rancho. Significant cultural sites including the Pueblo of Sandia Village and the Our Lady of Sorrows Cem are clearly marked, providing essential reference points for researchers. The landscape is also defined by seasonal drainage patterns, such as the Arroyo Venada and Sandia Wash, which cut through the terrain toward the river's edge.
