About this map

Petroglyph National Monument dominates the western edge of this landscape, preserving volcanic basalt escarpments and ancient carvings within the city's suburban expansion. The modern layout of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho is shown in detail, including the residential developments of Paradise Hills and Rio Rancho Estates. To the east, the Rio Grande valley provides a stark contrast with its lush riparian corridor and irrigation networks, such as the Alameda Drain and the Backwater Levee.

This 2020 map documents the complex intersection of federal conservation land, tribal education at the Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute, and established valley communities like Corrales and Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. Critical infrastructure such as the Alameda Bridge and major thoroughfares like Paseo Del Norte Blvd highlight the connectivity across the river, while drainage features like Arroyo de las Calabacillas and Boca Negra Canyon illustrate the high-desert topography.
