2013 Map of Dalies

About this map

El Cerro De Los Lunas dominates the central landscape of this Valencia County region, rising above the Rio Grande valley as a prominent volcanic landmark. The 2013 survey illustrates the residential expansion of Los Lunas and Los Chaves toward the east, while the western reaches remain defined by high desert terrain and scattered settlements like Dalies and Sandia. This area is shaped by complex water management systems essential for the valley's agriculture, including the New Belen Ditch, Prison Lateral, and the Los Lunas Wasteway. The industrial and transport infrastructure is anchored by the BNSF Railway corridor and the expansive grounds of the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility. Numerous local roads, such as Cabeza de Baca and Camino Largo, weave through the allotments, reflecting the unique land patterns of the Middle Rio Grande Valley.
