About this map

Waterflow sits along the northern bank of the San Juan River, anchoring a landscape where water management is central to the local geography. The presence of the Hogback Canal, including the Hogback Canal A Line and Hogback Canal B Line, alongside the Jewett Valley Ditch, illustrates the complex irrigation network necessary for life and agriculture in this arid region.

Rising above the plains, the prominent geological feature The Hogback dominates the eastern section of the map, while Chimney Rock serves as a distinctive landmark to the north. These natural formations are surrounded by ephemeral watercourses such as Eagle Nest Arroyo and Baker Arroyo, which carve through the Sand Hills. Historical land use is further evidenced by labels like Coal Mine Cr, suggesting a history of resource extraction, and secluded water sources like Salt Spring and Chimney Pond.
