About this map

Sedillo Hill dominates the upper terrain of this landscape, where Interstate 40 cuts through the high desert canyons east of Albuquerque. The mapping reflects a mix of residential expansion and historical land use, with small settlements like Cedar Crest and Zamora flanking the Tijeras Arroyo. Higher-elevation communities are linked by winding forest roads such as Forest Rd 252 and Forest Rd 462, which traverse the slopes near Cedro Peak.

Local industry and early heritage are evident in the scatter of rural landmarks, from the Section One Mine and Holmes Mine to more specialized sites like the Riedmont Fur Farm. Cultural and community centers are anchored by multiple burial grounds, including Sedillo Cemetery and the Juan Tomas Cemetery near the settlement of Juan Tomas. The presence of the Presbyterian Church Camp and Pine Flat Picnic Area suggests the area's ongoing role as a mountain retreat and recreational corridor.
