About this map

Tome and the surrounding Valencia County settlements sit perched between the eastern banks of the Rio Grande and the high desert terrain to the east. This modern survey illustrates the dense network of local roads and residential loops that characterize the growing communities of El Cerro, Rio Communities, and Las Maravillas. The landscape is a mix of traditional agricultural roots and contemporary development, anchored by the University of New Mexico - Valencia County Branch and the historic Tome Cem.

Away from the river valley, the terrain rises toward the mesa, marked by vital water infrastructure such as El Norte Tank and El Grande Tank. The map details many named lanes and loops, including San Eligio Rd, Benito Loop, and Patricio Rd, which reflect the area's deep-seated cultural heritage. Notable topographic features like La Cañada de la Loma de Arena cut through the landscape, providing a clear picture of the drainage patterns essential to this arid region.
