About this map

The Manzanita Mountains define the northeastern corner of this high-desert landscape south of Albuquerque, where water sources like Hubbell Spring and Clear Water Spring were vital historical markers. The map details a transition from the mountain foothills into a vast alluvial plain marked by numerous ephemeral drainage systems, including Arroyo del Coyote and the deep path of Hells Canyon Wash.

Evidence of ranching and territorial administration is clear through the presence of McCormick Ranch and a complex network of Indian Service roads. Routes such as Indian Service Route 60 and Indian Service Route 624 weave through the terrain, tracing the paths between ancient water points like Ojo de la Cabra. This survey documents the area's infrastructure and natural hydrology before further modern development altered the land use patterns of Bernalillo County.
