About this map

Florida River and Animas River define the lower drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape near the Colorado-New Mexico border. The terrain is characterized by broad elevated landforms like Florida Mesa and Sunnyside Mesa, which drop away into a complex system of deep incisions including Sixshooter Canyon and Hat Park Canyon. The intersection of water and agriculture is evident in the presence of the Twin Rock Ditch, Ralston Ditch, and E Mesa Ditch, infrastructure essential for managing the flow from the river valleys to the arid uplands.
