2023 Map of Aztec
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Animas River valley serves as the central artery for this San Juan County landscape, supporting the communities of Aztec and Bloomfield through an intricate system of irrigation including the Farmers Ditch and Aztec Ditch. This 2023 survey illustrates the intersection of ancient history and modern infrastructure, anchored by the Aztec Ruins National Monument in the northwest. Beyond the river corridor, the terrain breaks into a complex network of dry washes and canyons, such as Knowlton Canyon and Calloway Canyon, which dominate the high desert reaches. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the detailed street grids of the growing settlements and the location of the Aztec Cem. To the east, the topography becomes more pronounced with features like Knickerbocker Peaks and the geological curiosity of Outcrop Arch, marking a sharp transition from the fertile valley floor to the high mesas.
