2023 Map of Belen
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The town of Belen serves as a central hub for this Rio Grande Valley corridor, where an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Belen Highline Canal and Garcia Lateral Number 1 supports the local agriculture. This survey documents the complex water management system of drains, ditches, and laterals that define the valley floor, contrasted against the rising elevation of Mesa and Sunrise Bluff to the west. The landscape is characterized by its linear settlements following the river's path, including Los Chavez, Los Trujillos, and Pueblitos. The BNSF Railway corridor remains a dominant infrastructure feature, paralleling the major roadways and connecting the various neighborhoods. Notable local sites range from the Belen Regional Airport on the western flats to the Our Lady of Belen Memorial Gardens Cem near the town center, illustrating the blend of modern aviation and deep-rooted community heritage.
