2016 Map of Del Norte

About this map

The town of Del Norte sits along the southern bank of the Rio Grande, serving as a gateway where the valley floor meets the foothills of the Rio Grande National Forest. This 2016 survey illustrates a complex water management system essential to the region, featuring the Rio Grande Canal, Midland Canal, and Farmers Union Canal. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as East Butte, Elephant Rocks, and Lookout Mtn, the latter of which overlooks the town's grid of streets like Front St, Grand Ave, and Columbia Ave. To the east, the small settlement of Evansville and the community of Peñascito appear near the North Channel of the Rio Grande. For genealogists, the map identifies local burial sites at Del Norte Cem and Valdeses Cem, while the Astronaut Kent Rominger Airport indicates the modern infrastructure serving this high-altitude landscape.
