On Wikipedia
Albuquerque volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field in the Albuquerque Basin in New Mexico, United States. The Albuquerque volcanic field is made of monogenetic volcanoes that produced lava flows, cinder cones, and cinder and spatter cones. It is located about 11 km west-northwest of the city of Albuquerque, and is contained within the borders of Petroglyph National Monument. The oldest lava flows cover about 60 square km. The cones are aligned and possibly formed above two roughly north-south trending fissures. J cone (also called Vulcan) is the highest feature. Its base is made of cinder, but the crater contains a lava dome that was cut by an explosive eruption. The Albuquerque volcanic field was active from 170,000 to 70,000 years ago.
