About this map

El Cerro De Los Lunas dominates the central landscape of this Valencia County region, rising above the Rio Grande valley floor with distinct geological features such as the El Cerro Bowl and El Cerro W Escarpment. The eastern portion of the map shows the residential expansion of Los Lunas and Los Chaves, where modern subdivisions like Huning Ranch Loop meet the traditional agricultural irrigation infrastructure of the New Belen Ditch and Prison Lateral.

To the west, the terrain transitions into more open country, marked by the small settlements of Sandia and Paquita. This 2017 survey documents the intersection of rural heritage and suburban growth, tracing various access routes such as Indian Svc Rte 610 and Emilio Lopez Rd. The map provides a detailed view of the local drainage and water management network, including the Los Lunas Wasteway and Gabaldon Lateral.
