About this map

Edith sits along the southern border of Colorado, where the Navajo River flows through a landscape defined by high mesas and deep canyons. The settlement is positioned near the junction of County Rd 391 and County Rd 339, serving as a gateway to the high-elevation terrain of Archuleta Mesa and Mesa Pedregosa. This area represents a complex transition between the river valley and the rising slopes of Klutter Mountain, where drainage systems like Boone Creek and Coyote Creek have carved a network of flats and parks.

The map reveals a transition into tribal lands as indicated by Indian Rte 139 and Indian Rte 140 crossing the southwestern corner. The naming of features like El Cañon de Pescar and Abeyta Canyon reflects the cultural history of the region. Notable open spaces like Coyote Park and Kenney Flats provide breaks in the vertical topography, while Montezuma Creek drains the northern reaches of this borderland territory.
