Rio Grande waters dominate this central New Mexico landscape, feeding an intricate network of irrigation channels like the San Juan Ditch and Belen Grant Lateral Number One. The valley floor is dotted with small agricultural settlements including Las Nutrias, Abeytas, and Bernardo, where rural life is grounded by local landmarks such as San Isidro Catholic Cem and the Chihuahua Bible Chapel. This survey reflects a complex water-management system essential for the high-desert climate, featuring multiple drains and laterals that parallel the river's course.
