About this map

The Farmington suburbs and surrounding high desert plateaus are captured here during a period of modern expansion. The landscape is defined by the convergence of the Animas River and the La Plata River, providing vital water sources in an arid region. Extensive irrigation infrastructure, such as the Jackson Ditch, Pickering Ditch, and Star Ditch, supports the local valley while the rugged terrain of The Badlands and Hood Mesa rises to the north.

Industrial activity is prominent throughout the quadrangle, with several extractive sites like the Black Diamond Mine and the Dobey Medina Mine alongside various gravel operations such as the Kutz Pit. The presence of New Mexico State University and landmarks like the City Reser City of Farmington Dam highlight the area's role as a regional hub. This survey detail includes the complex network of arroyos, including Pickering Arroyo and Barker Arroyo, which shape the drainage patterns around Farmington Glade.
