2020 Map of Hubbell Spring

About this map

Albuquerque is represented here at its southeastern fringes, where the developing street grid of the city meets the open terrain of the high desert. The map captures a transition from the urban infrastructure of University Blvd SE and Bobby Foster Rd to a vast network of tribal roads and service routes that crisscross the landscape. This area is defined by its drainage patterns and historical water sources, which were vital for life in this arid environment. Significant natural features include the Hells Canyon Wash, which winds across the southern half of the sheet, and the seasonal flow of the Arroyo del Coyote to the north. Local history is tied to named water points like Hubbell Spring, Clear Water Spring, and the aptly named Ojo de la Cabra, which likely served as landmarks for generations of travelers and residents.
