"To the right in the broad corn field mowed to stubble, two roadrunners jerk their Mohawk heads and glare.

South Valley, located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, is an unincorporated zone on the southern side of the Albuquerque metro area. It straddles both sides of the Rio Grande in a gently sloping valley to the west of I-25 and Kirkland Air Force Base--doesn't that just put your mind at ease? Just about 42,000 people live in the 30 square miles designated as South Valley, with more occupying farmland on the edges.
