2023 Map of Archuleta

About this map

The San Juan River winds through this corner of San Juan County, defining a landscape of deep canyons and mesas north of the Carson National Forest boundary. This modern survey shows the vital water management and transportation corridors that sustain the region, from the Citizens Ditch irrigation network to the infrastructure surrounding the Navajo Dam settlement. Genealogists can identify key burial sites such as Archuleta Cem and Our Lady of Guadalupe Cem, which serve the small communities of Archuleta, Blanco, and Turley. The terrain is characterized by dramatic features like Melquidis Point and the Gobernador Canyon Arch, illustrating the erosive power of the drainage systems. Numerous service roads, including Navajo Dam Rd and Girito Rd, provide access to remote ranching and energy-producing areas across Pump Mesa and Martinez Mesa.
