Explore Corrales, New Mexico, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Corrales, New Mexico. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of New Mexico or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Corrales.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Corrales maintains a quiet presence along the high desert landscape, defined by the steady, life-giving flow of the Rio Grande. It lies 3.3 miles east of Rio Rancho, NM (from Rio Rancho, NM: bearing 85°T), and is situated 4.6 miles north-northeast of North Valley. The land here slopes gently toward the river, where cottonwood trees line the banks and provide a green contrast to the arid earth. To the east, the Sandia Mountains rise sharply against the sky, their jagged peaks capturing the changing light of the day. Those seeking to explore the local terrain often head toward the Corrales Heights Trail to witness the expanse of the valley. Beyond the immediate fields, the horizon reveals the distant, vast stretches of the high desert plains that characterize this part of the country.
Corrales grew from a pattern of agricultural settlement where families cultivated small plots of land through irrigation from the river. The local economy continues to honor this heritage, as small-scale farming and artisanal production remain vital to the character of the area. Residents value the preservation of open space, which prevents the encroachment of heavy industrial development and keeps the pace of life measured. While the nearby Jemez Canyon Reservoir serves as a reminder of the regional water management, the daily focus in Corrales stays tethered to the rhythm of the harvest and the seasons. This commitment to maintaining a rural atmosphere ensures that the agricultural roots of the past are not lost to modern expansion.
Cultural life in Corrales reflects a blend of traditions that have shaped the region for generations, evident in the adobe architecture and the local appreciation for the arts. The community gathers for seasonal events that celebrate the bounty of the land, often drawing neighbors together under the clear, intense light of the New Mexican sun. Visitors might spend an afternoon walking the South Piedra Lisa trail or exploring the quiet roads that define the local landscape. While the area is known for its peaceful living, it has also been home to notable figures such as the author Tony Hillerman, who found inspiration in the surroundings. Life in Corrales moves with a deliberate intention, where the beauty of the high desert is a constant, shared experience for all who reside here.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
