2013 Map of Bloomfield

About this map

The San Juan River valley serves as the central artery for this portion of San Juan County, anchoring the town of Bloomfield and the nearby settlements of West Hammond and Blanco. Agriculture and irrigation are prominent features of the landscape, evidenced by the Citizens Ditch which skirts the northern edge of the river valley. The surrounding terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages and geological features, including Sullivan Canyon, Bloomfield Canyon, and Kutz Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus of the Four Corners region. Genealogists and local historians will find the Hammond Cem south of the river, while the grid of Bloomfield shows the growth of the community along W Blanco Blvd and E Blanco Blvd. The map captures the intersection of water-driven settlement and the arid, dissected topography of northwestern New Mexico.
