About this map

Tome and its surrounding agricultural corridor define this landscape along the eastern banks of the Rio Grande. The settlement pattern follows an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the Tome Ditch, Tome Drain, and Hells Canyon Drain, which support the valley's long-standing farming tradition. This 2017 survey captures a mix of traditional New Mexico villages and modern expansion, as seen in the growth of Rio Communities and Rio Grande Estates to the south.

Education and local heritage are centered near El Cerro, where the Univ of New Mexico Valencia County Branch and the Tome Cem are located. To the east, the terrain rises toward La Loma Alta, transitioning from the verdant river valley to the more arid highlands. The map provides clear detail of local landmarks and residential developments like Monterey Park and Las Maravillas, reflecting the evolving character of Valencia County.
