2010 Map of Chilili

About this map

The settlement of Chilili and its historical predecessor Old Chilili anchor this landscape on the eastern slopes of the Manzano Mountains. The map reveals a high-desert environment defined by arroyos and canyons, including Cañon de Chilili and Arroyo de Yrisarri, where seasonal water flow once dictated the placement of early ranching outposts. Scattered throughout the territory are numerous family-named landmarks and smaller habitations such as Dunn Place, Alley Place, and Danvik Place, suggesting a legacy of persistent land tenure in this rural Bernalillo County corridor.
