2023 Map of Los Griegos

About this map

The Petroglyph National Monument dominates the western volcanic escarpment in this contemporary survey, preserving thousands of ancestral carvings across canyons like Piedras Marcadas Canyon and Rinconada Canyon. This volcanic landscape transitions sharply into the densely settled Rio Grande valley, where ancient agricultural patterns persist through an extensive network of traditional irrigation channels including the Corrales Lateral and Griegos Drain. These watercourses reflect centuries of land management that still shape the boundaries of modern Albuquerque and Los Ranchos de Albuquerque.
