About this map

La Plata River and the Animas River converge at the southern edge of this landscape, defining the early growth of Farmington. The topography transitions from the high Glade Mesa and Piñon Mesa down to the broken terrain of The Badlands and Cottonwood Arroyo. Urban expansion is evident through the 1970s revisions, showing the development of neighborhoods and educational facilities like New Mexico State U (San Juan Branch), Hermosa Jr High Sch, and Ladera del Norte Sch. The irrigation infrastructure essential to this arid region is well-documented, featuring the Independent Ditch and Halford Independent Ditch. Numerous gas wells are scattered across the mesas, illustrating the industrial footprint alongside residential landmarks like Bethany Ch and the Country Club.
