2010 Map of Farmington South

About this map

The confluence of the Animas River and the San Juan River anchors this study of Farmington, New Mexico, in the early 21st century. The northern portion of the map shows a developed municipal grid, including the Farmington Post Office and Greenlawn Cemetery, while the southern reaches transition into a rugged landscape of carved drainages like Stewart Canyon and Gallegos Canyon. Significant land use is evident through various industrial and preservation markers, such as the Arco Pit and several cultural heritage sites, including the Wash Archeological District and Crow Canyon Archeological District. Water management infrastructure is a defining characteristic of the valley, documented by the Hammond Main Canal and the Bolack Number One Dam. Further south, the terrain opens into wide natural features like The Dunes and the prominent Shannon Bluffs overlooking the river valley.
