About this map

The Colorado-New Mexico border defines the geography of this 1980s survey, where the settlement of Edith sits near the banks of the Navajo River. The landscape is shaped by deep canyons and high plateaus, including Archuleta Mesa and Mesa del Medio, within the southeastern reaches of the San Juan National Forest. A notable presence in the north and east is the Old Grade Railroad, its path tracing the contours of Kenney Flats and Boone Creek as a remnant of earlier transport networks.

Water management is evident through features like the Shahan Ditch and several named springs such as Paul Spring and Pescar Spring. The southern portion of the map covers part of the Jicarilla Indian Reservation, illustrating the intersection of federal forest land, tribal lands, and the interstate boundary. Notable elevations like Klutter Mountain and Glory rise above the drainage of Coyote Creek, marking a transition from river valley to high mesa terrain.
