2023 Map of Colfax

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Colfax sits at a critical junction of high plains water management where the Vermejo River and Van Bremmer Creek converge. This 2023 survey illustrates the complex irrigation network of Colfax County, dominated by the Stubblefield Reservoir and an intricate system of man-made waterways including the Vermejo Ditch, High Line Ditch, and Stubblefield Lateral. These features highlight the region's reliance on diverted surface water to support land use in an arid environment. To the south, the terrain shifts toward the Cedar Hills and the winding course of Dry Arroyo, while the northern reaches are marked by Laguna Madre and the drainage of Saltpeter Creek. The map provides a precise record of rural infrastructure, from county roads like Co RD A-61 to the specific engineering of the Stubblefield Eagle Tail Lateral, reflecting the modern agricultural character of this Northern New Mexico landscape.
