About this map

The confluence of the San Juan River, Animas River, and La Plata River shapes the development and agricultural layout of this New Mexico landscape. The urban reach of Farmington extends south and east toward Crouch Mesa, balanced by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the Independent Ditch, North Farmington Ditch, and Willett Ditch. These waterways underscore the region's reliance on river management for both municipal and rural use.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several significant burial sites and community landmarks, such as the San Juan Mission Cemetery, Navajo Methodist Mission Cemetery, and Greenlawn Cemetery. Beyond the residential areas of Lee Acres and Totah Vista, the terrain breaks into a series of deep drainages like Head Canyon and Gallegos Canyon, while the Napi Headquarters marks a modern center of operations for the Navajo Agricultural Products Industry in the southern portion of the quadrangle.
