Rio Rancho and Corrales anchor this survey of a modernizing desert landscape defined by high mesas and deep drainage channels. The map illustrates a dense residential network expanding across several prominent elevations, including Loma Machete, Loma Duran, and Loma Colorado de Abajo. This urbanization is shaped by the natural topography of the high desert, where extensive street grids are interrupted by the meandering courses of Arroyo de los Montoyas and Arroyo de las Lomitas Negras.
