2017 Map of Archuleta

About this map

Navajo Dam controls the flow of the San Juan River in this high-desert landscape, where the small community of Archuleta sits just downstream of the impoundment. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems, including Gobernador Canyon and Simon Canyon, which carve through prominent elevations like Pump Mesa and Martinez Mesa. This 2017 survey illustrates the modern infrastructure serving the area, such as Navajo Lake Airport and a series of rural routes including Navajo Dam Rd and Girito Rd. Significant landmarks for navigation and local history are documented here, ranging from the Gobernador Canyon Arch to high points like Baltazar Peak and Melquadis Point. Water sources critical to this arid environment, such as Quintana Spring and Prado Spring, are also specifically identified.
