About this map

Central Ave NW and the surrounding west mesa landscape of Albuquerque are documented here in detail during a period of significant urban transition. The map captures the intersection of expanding municipal infrastructure and the natural desert terrain, with the Lareda Arroyo draining the northern slopes toward the Rio Grande valley. In the north, the topographic feature known as El Rincon overlooks a network of emerging thoroughfares including Paseo Del Volcan NW and the uniquely named Tempur Pedic Pkwy.

South of the primary transit corridor, the landscape is defined by long, straight access ways such as Grant Rd and Pajarito Rd. Local landmarks like Quebrar and specialized routes including Landfill Rd and Speedway Rd SW indicate the diverse industrial and recreational uses of the land. This era reflects the early 21st-century growth patterns where traditional ranch roads began to meet planned suburban boulevards like Dennis Chavez Blvd SW.
