La Cueva Arroyo Diversion Map

Location: 35.1797159, -106.5219369

The La Cueva Arroyo Diversion is an engineered channel that works in conjunction with La Cueva Arroyo to manage stormwater in northeast Albuquerque. It diverts overflow and helps protect surrounding neighborhoods from seasonal flooding, especially during heavy summer rains. While it may appear as a dry, gravel-lined ditch for most of the year, its role in hydrological planning is critical. These diversions are part of a larger flood control system that ensures safety and environmental balance in a city built within an arid landscape.
