About this map

El Cerro de los Lunas dominates the central landscape of this Valencia County region, serving as a prominent topographical anchor between the expanding suburban fringes of Los Lunas and the historical rail junction area of Dalies. The western portion of the map remains largely open, characterized by tribal routes like Indian Svc Rte 610 near Sandia. To the east, the modern development of Los Lunas contrasts with the intricate agricultural irrigation network further south.

Water management is central to the land use here, evidenced by the New Belen Ditch, Prison Lateral, and Gabaldon Lateral which support the communities of Belen and Los Chaves. Small settlements like Paquita sit near the northern boundary with Bernalillo County, while the diverse street names of the Huning Ranch area—such as Huning Ranch Loop and Firewheel Loop—illustrate the residential growth extending toward the base of the volcanic uplands.
