Sunshine Valley transitions from the irrigated agricultural plains of the west into the high peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the east during the mid-1990s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, where the Sunshine Ditch, Llano Ditch, and several numbered canals like Canal No 1 and Canal No 2 support the settlements of Cerro and El Rito. This mapping reveals the human effort to channel runoff from the mountains into the arid valley, evidenced by the numerous ditches and the Main Lateral.
