2010 Map of Cedar Hill

About this map

The Animas River corridor shapes the life and industry of this San Juan County landscape, providing the water source for critical irrigation works like the Stacy Ditch and the Graves Atterberry Ditch. These human-made channels parallel the river's winding course, supporting the small settlements of Riverside, Cedar Hill, and Inca. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into a series of deeply carved drainages including Kitten Canyon and Bohanan Canyon, leading toward the prominent heights of Lone Tree Mountain. This 2010 survey reflects a high desert environment where historical settlement remains concentrated near the river, while landmarks like Lion Rock and Cox Canyon Arch punctuate the arid mesas. Local history is anchored at the Cedar Hill Cemetery, overlooking the valley and the network of county roads that connect these small northern New Mexico communities.
