How to Use This Lee Acres, New Mexico Map
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lee Acres, 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 Lee Acres.
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.

About Lee Acres, New Mexico

ZIP codes: 87107, 87401.Lee Acres stretches across a high-desert expanse where the earth holds the heat of the day long after the sun has retreated behind the jagged silhouette of the Sandia Mountains. It lies 2.2 miles southwest of North Valley, NM (from North Valley, NM: bearing 218°T), and is situated 4.4 miles north of Albuquerque. The terrain here is defined by a sparse, resilient beauty, characterized by dry scrub and the quiet, persistent carving of Bear Arroyo, which traces a path through the dusty landscape just a mile away. Three miles to the north, the rugged shadows of Piedras Marcadas Canyon deepen as the light shifts toward violet, casting a stillness over the horizon that feels both ancient and immediate. Residents move through this arid climate under an expansive, unclouded sky that turns a pale, bruised gold at dusk, illuminating the grit and grace of a land that asks for little but offers a vast, uncluttered perspective.
Grecian, the local LREC, anchors the immediate surroundings of Lee Acres, providing a small, quiet space that reflects the modest, steady pace of life in this part of the high desert. The economy here remains tethered to the rhythmic demands of regional industry and the seasonal cycles that govern the surrounding plains, far removed from the more humid, verdant reaches of the country. History lingers in the quiet persistence of those who settle here, drawn by the clarity of the air and the proximity to the wider, wilder expanses of the Sandia Ranger District. While the distant Isleta Lakes offer a rare, shimmering reprieve for travelers seeking water, the identity of Lee Acres is firmly rooted in the dry, sun-baked earth and the steady, unsentimental endurance of its people.

About This Lee Acres Map Page
This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Lee Acres, New Mexico. Coordinates: 36.704779, -108.061522. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.
Detailed location data for Lee Acres includes the ZIP code (87107, 87401), telephone area code (505), county seat of Bernalillo County (Albuquerque), and school district assignment (Farmington Municipal Schools).
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.
