2011 Map of Tijeras

About this map

The canyon lands east of Albuquerque appear in high detail during this early 21st-century survey, centered on the strategic pass where the Tijeras Arroyo cuts through the mountains. The village of Tijeras serves as a local hub, featuring the Tijeras Post Office and nearby Tijeras Cemetery. Industrial activity is a defining characteristic of the landscape, marked by the massive Ideal Basic Cement Plant and the Ideal Basic Limestone Quarry. Smaller-scale legacy mining is visible at the Alpha Mine and York Mine, while recreational and historical sites like the YWCA Camp and Paako Ruin are found further north near San Antonio. The map captures the meeting of desert topography and modern infrastructure, including the Embudo Dam and numerous trailheads leading into the Manzanita Mountains.
