About this map

The Rio Grande valley south of Albuquerque is defined by a dense network of irrigation infrastructure and historical land grants. This survey of the Rio Abajo region details the complex water management systems essential to the area, including the Peralta Main Canal, Belen High Line Canal, and numerous drains like the Los Chavez Drain. These waterways sustain the agricultural settlements of Bosque Farms, Peralta, and Valencia.

Boundaries for the Isleta Pueblo Indian Reservation and several Spanish land grants, such as the Nicolas Duran de Chavez Grant and Lo De Padilla Grant, highlight the region's long-standing land tenure traditions. Genealogists can locate community landmarks like Los Lentes Cem and El Camposanto de la Liverte, or trace the residential growth surrounding the Los Lunas town center and the Los Lunas Correctional Center.
