BERNALILLO COUNTY Spring 2021 ADDRESS ATLAS BERNALILLO COUNTY Spring 2021 ADDRESS ATLAS Volume 1 Table of Contents • Introduction • Map Legend • General Maps: o Legal Description Index & Uniform Property Coding System Index o Volume 1 Extent o County Commission Districts o Cities & Communities • Street Index • Address Atlas Maps Introduction The Bernalillo County Address Atlas Volume 1 was produced using data from the Bernalillo County Planning & Development Services Geographic Information System Program and the City of Albuquerque Geographic Information System (AGIS). A GIS organizes spatial and non-spatial data together in one computer environment to facilitate data query, analysis, and automated mapping. The Planning & Development Services GIS Program has coordinated with the Planning and Development Services Department to determine the type and the look of the map features to be displayed in this atlas. The Address Atlas Volume 1 displays address annotation, parcels, and other map features for the unincorporated area of Bernalillo County west of the Sandia Mountains and east of the tribal lands. The Spring 2021 edition includes new and updated information since the last digital edition in Fall 2020. To view and download current and additional data, connect to http://www.bernco.gov/planning/download-zone-atlas-.aspx. This atlas is for reference only and is published solely for the convenience of the user. These maps should not be used for exact measurements or legal descriptions of property. Legal descriptions and dimensions must be obtained from the records of the Bernalillo County Clerk, located in the City/County Government Center at One Civic Plaza NW, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Official address assignments are made by the Bernalillo County Planning and Development Services Department, at 111 Union Square SE, Suite 100, Albuquerque, NM 87102. Map Legend Note: Address annotation typically is placed within the parcel it references. If the annotation does not fit within the parcel, it is placed in the street right-of-way or in a nearby parcel with an arrow pointing to the parcel that it references. Address annotation is placed perpendicular to the street that it references as space allows.

Moench, U.S. Geological Survey Michael E. Lane, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 2, 1964) and the Joint Conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are presently being studied. The act provides that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Pecos Wilderness, Santa Fe and Carson National Forests, Santr Fe, San Miguel, Mora, Rio Arriba, and Taos Counties, New Mexico. The nucleus of the Pecos Wilderness was established when the Wilderness Act was passed in 1964. Additional adjacent areas were classified as Further Planning and Wilderness during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979, and some of these were incorporated into the Pecos Wilderness by the New Mexico Wilderness Bill.

  • Seismic Investigation of the Yavapai-Mazatzal Transition Zone and the Jemez Lineament in Northeastern New Mexico
    Seismic Investigation of the Yavapai-Mazatzal Transition Zone and the Jemez Lineament in Northeastern New Mexico Maria Beatrice Magnani and Alan Levander Department of Earth Science, Rice University, Houston, Texas Kate C. Miller and Tefera Eshete Department of Geological Sciences, University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, Texas Karl E. Karlstrom Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico A new seismic reflection profile of the Precambrian lithosphere under the Jemez Lineament (JL) (northeastern New Mexico, USA) shows impressive reflectivity throughout the crust. The upper crust is characterized by a 2 km thick undeformed Paleozoic and Mesozoic sedimen- tary sequence above the Precambrian basement. At a depth of 5–8 km, undulating reflec- tions image a Proterozoic nappe cropping out in the nearby Rincon Range. To the south the upper crust is seismically transparent except for south dipping reflections at 2–10 km depth. The middle-lower crust, from 10–45 km depth, shows oppositely dipping reflections that converge in the deep crust (35–37 km) roughly at the center of the profile. To the north the reflectivity dips southward at 25° to a depth of 33 km before fading in the lower crust. In the southern part of the profile a crustal-scale duplex structure extends horizontally for more than 60 km. We interpret the oppositely dipping reflections as the elements of a doubly ver- gent suture zone that resulted from the accretion of the Mazatzal island arc to the southern margin of the Yavapai proto-craton at ~1.65–1.68 Ga.

    NM HIGHWAY/ MARKER TITLE TEXT OF MARKER COUNTY NAME MILEMARKER A.M. Curley Trainer Memorial N.M. State Road 78 appeared on maps before 1927, but remained a gravel highway in several sections in Arizona and New Mexico through the 1960s. By Grant NM 78 mm .5 EB Highway 1971, all but one stretch near the border had been paved. Area rancher Curley Traynor was instrumental in having a paved road connect Arizona and New Mexico, and in 1974 it was dedicated as the A.M. Curley Traynor Memorial Highway. Abiquiú Established on the site on an abandoned Indian pueblo, Abiquiú in the mid-18th century became a settlement of Spaniards and genízaros (Hispanicized Rio Arriba US 084 North of Espanola at MM 211.9 Indians). In 1776, explorers Fran Francisco Atanacio Domínguez and Fray Silvestre Vélez de Escalante visited here. In 1830, the settlement became one of the stops on the Spanish Trail which linked Santa Fe with Los Angeles, California. Abó Pass Trail Cutting through the southern edge of the Manzano Mountains, this area has always been an important trade route. The trail linked Abó and the Salinas Torrance US 60 between mm's 189-190 pueblos to the Rio Grande pueblos, fostering trade of beans, cotton, buffalo meat and salt with the Plains Indians. It gave access to El Camino Real, and U.S. 60—originally a coast-to-coast highway—follows the trail’s route through the pass. One of the world’s busiest intermodal transport routes, the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway, runs through Abo Canyon, just north of Abó Pass.
