2017 Map of Los Lunas

About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate the center of this landscape, feeding an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure essential to the valley's agricultural character. This system includes the Upper Peralta Riverside Drain, Los Lunas Ditch, and the San Fernandez Drain, which crisscross the lowlands between Los Lunas and the higher desert terrain to the east. The map captures a high density of small, community-centered burial grounds and missions, such as the Spanish Methodist Cem and Sangre de Cristo Cem, which serve the settlements of Peralta and Valencia. To the east, the terrain rises toward the volcanic formation of El Cerro Tome, while modern developments like Monterey Park and the Mid Valley Airpark appear alongside established village cores, illustrating the region's continued growth within a traditional Rio Grande valley layout.
