2023 Map of Tijeras
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Tijeras Canyon serves as a natural gateway between the Sandia Mountain Wilderness and the Manzanita Mountains, defining the geography where eastern Albuquerque meets the high desert. This survey documents the intersection of modern suburban expansion and traditional land grants, showing the ribbon of development through Carnuel and Tijeras. High elevations are marked by South Sandia Peak and a network of seasonal water sources like Embudo Spring and Sandia Spring. To the south, the boundary of Kirtland Air Force Base transitions into the Cibola National Forest, where steep drainages like Lurance Canyon and Arroyo del Coyote dominate the terrain. Local history is anchored by numerous burial sites, including the Santo Niño Camposanto Cem and the San Antonio Cem Annex, reflecting the long-standing communities of the East Mountains.
