Abstract
Bernalillo County is a nearly rectangular area, measuring approximately 40 by 80 miles and located in north-central New Mexico. Aside from being a center of population, agriculture, and historical interest, the area deserves attention because of its fortunate combination of geographic features. It is almost evenly bisected into east and west halves by the Rio Grande. The eastern half includes a section of the Sandia and Manzano mountain ranges, while the western half consists of high mesas and a small desert river, the Rio Puerco. With its long axis running east and west, the county itself makes a transect across these formations.Keywords
