1990 Map of Loma Machete

USGS Topo · Published 1996

About this map

Rio Rancho and the Town of Alameda serve as the primary anchors for this northern New Mexico landscape as it transitioned into the late twentieth century. While the lower elevations show the encroachment of planned street grids along Northern Blvd and Progress Blvd, the northern half remains defined by high desert terrain and drainage networks like the Arroyo Venado and Arroyo de Pantaleon. Landmarks such as Lincoln Middle Sch and local green spaces like Vista Hills Park mark the suburban expansion into the high mesas. To the northeast, the Santa Ana Indian Reservation boundary and the heights of Loma Barbon provide a stark contrast to the development below. The complex series of arroyos, including the Arroyo de las Calabacillas and Arroyo de las Lomitas Negras, underscores the significant role of natural drainage in shaping the road patterns and lot layouts for this expanding high-desert community.
