2010 Map of Flora Vista

About this map

The Animas River corridor between Farmington and Aztec defines this high-desert landscape in northwestern New Mexico. At the heart of the sheet, the settlement of Flora Vista serves as a hub for the surrounding agricultural and industrial activity, anchored by the Flora Vista Cemetery. The region's reliance on water management is evident through an intricate network of irrigation features like the Elledge Mill Ditch, Kello Blancett DITCH, and Terrell Ditch, which redirect flow from the river to the arid terrain near Bald Mesa. Industrial and municipal development is represented by the Aztec Municipal Airport and mining sites such as the Aztec Gypsum Prospect and Spencerville Pit. Significant water storage at Lake Farmington and Beeline Reservoir highlights the critical infrastructure supporting the growing communities of Spencerville and the outskirts of Farmington.
