1984 Map of Edith

About this map

Edith sits at the southern edge of this 1984 survey, positioned where the Navajo River crosses the border between New Mexico and Colorado. The terrain is defined by high plateaus and complex drainage systems, featuring landmarks like Archuleta Mesa and Mesa Del Medio. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the northern section, tracing a path past Halfway and through the San Juan National Forest, indicating former industrial or transit corridors through the timberlands. Along the river valley, evidence of local resource management appears through the Shahan Ditch and a Gaging Sta. The map also captures the boundary of the Jicarilla Indian Reservation as it meets Archuleta and Rio Arriba Counties, providing a clear look at the intersection of tribal, county, and state lands in the late twentieth century.
