About this map

Zia Pueblo land and the northern reaches of the Rio Rancho area are defined by a complex network of arroyos and distinct volcanic terrain. The landscape is dominated by notable peaks such as Cerro Conejo and Cerrito Picacho, while the southern portion of the map shows the transition into suburban development with the gridded street network of Rainbow Blvd.

Evidence of historical ranching persists at the Tenorio Ranch, situated near the Cañada de la Milpas. Water drainage patterns are central to the geography here, with significant channels like the Arroyo de los Montoyas and Arroyo Piedra Parada carving through the high desert. To the southeast, the landscape transitions from the natural catchments of Laguna de Baca toward modern residential planning, including McCone Loop and Stillwater Rd.
