2019 Map of Del Norte

About this map

Del Norte serves as the focal point of this Rio Grande Valley study, showing a structured town grid anchored by the Rio Grande County Courthouse. The surrounding landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the region's agricultural life, including the Rio Grande Canal, the Midland Canal, and the Farmers Union Canal. To the south, the terrain rises into the Rio Grande National Forest, where prominent landmarks like Lookout Mtn and the Stone Quarry overlook the valley floor. Small settlements such as Evansville and Peñascito are documented alongside important local sites like the Del Norte Cem and the Valdeses Cem. The map also highlights modern infrastructure such as the Astronaut Kent Rominger Airport, providing a clear view of how high-altitude aviation and traditional river-based agriculture coexist in this mountain valley.
