2023 Map of Hubbell Spring

About this map

The high desert landscape of Kirtland Air Force Base dominates much of this Bernalillo County terrain, where the sprawling urban growth of Albuquerque meets restricted military and tribal lands. This modern survey illustrates the critical water sources that have long defined survival in this arid environment, including the namesake Hubbell Spring and Clear Water Spring tucked into the northern arroyos. The land is marked by significant topographical relief, transitioning from the alluvial fans of Arroyo del Coyote to the deep incisions of Hells Canyon Wash further south. A complex network of tribal and service roads, such as Indian Svc Rte 60 and Tribal Rd 16, provide the primary access through the Cañada Colorada area, marking the boundary where Bernalillo and Valencia counties meet.
