2023 Map of Loma Machete

About this map

Rio Rancho and its northern expansion areas define this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County. The map details a complex network of residential development transitioning into the open mesas, characterized by numerous "Loma" settlements including Loma Machete, Loma Duran, and Loma Coyote. The terrain is deeply inscribed by seasonal watercourses such as the Arroyo de la Baranca and Arroyo Venada, which drain toward the east from the foothills. Institutional growth is centered around the Central New Mexico Community College Rio Rancho Campus and the UNM Health Sciences Rio Rancho Campus, reflecting the area's modern educational infrastructure. Notable landmarks like Picuda Peak and the Laguna de las Bacas provide topographical reference points amidst the dense grid of planned streets in Rio Rancho Estates.
