Getting to the right map
Parcels around Peralta can be looked up on the NM Office of the State Engineer County Parcels 2025 layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, which opens without registering.

Belen and the county around it
The town is part of Valencia County, New Mexico, which means parcel data comes from the county for land near Los Lunas.

Land beyond the town limits toward Rio Communities often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Searching the map
