2010 Map of Casa Colorada

About this map

The Rio Grande flows along the western edge of this Valencia County landscape, feeding the irrigation infrastructure at San Juan Heading. This survey depicts a period of transitioning land use where established settlements like Casa Colorada and Madrone meet a structured grid of residential road networks. The desert terrain is defined by the significant drainage of the Abo Arroyo in the south, while the central and eastern sections are dominated by modern looping developments. Named roads such as Sonnenberg Loop, Navajo Loop, and Paseo del Escarpado illustrate the planned expansion of the Rio Communities area during the early 21st century. To the east, the settlement of Bodega sits near the intersection of several primary arteries, reflecting the area's ongoing residential growth away from the river's traditional floodplains.
