About this map

The confluence of the Animas River and the San Juan River anchors this study of the San Juan Basin, where agricultural infrastructure and modern industrial expansion meet. Detailed irrigation networks like Echo Ditch, Independent Ditch, and Willet Ditch trace the valley floor, illustrating the long-standing reliance on river water for the region's development. North of the rivers, the urban grid of Farmington is well-established, featuring landmarks such as the Four Corners Regional Airport and Greenlawn Cem.

South of the water, the landscape shifts dramatically into the high desert terrain of The Dunes and the prominent elevations of Shannon Bluffs. This area reflects the administrative and industrial footprint of the Navajo Nation with the Napi Headquarters located along the highway. To the east, the settlement of Lee Acres sits tucked between the bluffs and the winding river, while several deep-cut features like Mine Canyon and Stewart Canyon mark the transition toward the more arid tablelands of the southern quadrangle.
