2017 Map of Sedillo

About this map

Cibola National Forest dominates this landscape on the eastern slopes of the Manzano Mountains, where deep drainages like Tijeras Canyon and Gutierrez Canyon carve through the high terrain. The map documents a cluster of small mountain communities and rural developments, including Cedar Crest, Sedillo, and Juan Tomas. These settlements are linked by a network of local roads and the major corridor of Tijeras Arroyo, reflecting the expansion of residential life into the forested canyons east of Albuquerque. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet identifies several remote burial grounds, such as Sedillo Cem, Juan Tomas Cem, and Cedro Cem, which serve as vital markers for family research in these mountain villages. The southern portion includes the northern fringes of Kirtland AFB and the prominent Cedro Peak, showing how military and national forest land usage interfaces with private holdings.
