About this map

Los Lunas and the fertile valley along the Rio Grande serve as the heart of this Valencia County landscape, illustrating a modern pattern of settlement that remains deeply rooted in its agricultural and tribal history. The map shows the transition from the river's floodplain to the rising terrain of El Cerro Tome and the surrounding mesas. In the northern reaches, numerous tribal roads such as Tribal RD 1 and Tribal RD 22 cross into the neighboring Bernalillo County, reflecting the area's indigenous geography.

Local historians can trace the community's social and religious foundations through a high concentration of burial sites, including the Spanish Methodist Cem, Sangre de Cristo Cem, and the uniquely named El Camposanto de la Liverta Cem. The central role of governance is anchored by the Valencia County Courthouse, while the surrounding neighborhoods of Peralta, Valencia, and Bosque Farms show the extensive development of local lanes and farm roads that define the valley today.
