Description:
Urban sprawl is limited on three sides; by the Sandia Pueblo to the north, the Isleta Pueblo and Kirtland Air Force Base to the south, and the Sandia Mountains to the east. Suburban growth continues at a strong pace to the west, beyond Petroglyph National Monument, once thought to be a natural boundary to sprawl development. According to the United States Census Bureau, Albuquerque has a total area of 189.5 square miles. (Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia. org/wiki/Main_Page)
