About this map

Rio San Jose and the Paraje Irrigation Ditch define the valley floor in this high-desert region of western New Mexico. The landscape is characterized by a series of settlements established along the NM-124 corridor, including San Fidel, Villa de Cubero, Budville, and Seama. Local genealogy and community landmarks are prominent, notably the San Fidel Parish House Belfrey and historical burial sites like San Fidel Cem and Budville Cem.

The presence of tribal lands is reflected in the numerous Indian Service Routes and communities such as North Acomita Village, South Acomita Village, and the development at Skyline-Ganipa. These patterns suggest a landscape where modern transportation, represented by the interstate and the Cubero Airport, overlays an older network of agricultural irrigation and traditional village sites. Physical landmarks like Mesa Hill, Flower Mtn, and the wide Cañada de Cruz provide a topographic context for these clustered high-altitude settlements.
