2016 Map of Edith

About this map

The Edith settlement sits along the southern edge of this Archuleta County terrain, situated near the banks of the Navajo River just north of the state line. This high-altitude landscape is defined by massive plateau formations, including the prominent Archuleta Mesa and Vigil Mesa, which rise above deep drainages like Abeyta Canyon. Within the San Juan National Forest, the topography transitions from high mesas to lower basins such as Coyote Park. Evidence of early water management for ranching or agriculture appears in the Shahan Ditch, while the numerous natural springs like Felix Spring and Paul Spring suggest the critical importance of water sources in this arid environment. The map captures a network of rural routes including CO Road 542 and Edith Rd that navigate the varied elevations between Klutter Mtn and Mesa Pedregosa.
