About this map

The Animas River corridor defines the geography of this San Juan County region, serving as the lifeblood for settlements like Flora Vista and Spencerville. Irrigation infrastructure, including the Farmers Ditch, illustrates how water management has historically supported development in this high-desert landscape. The transition from river valley to the elevated Bald Mesa is marked by numerous drainage features such as Barton Arroyo and Flora Vista Arroyo, which reveal the complex local topography.

Industrial and cultural landmarks are prominently featured, from the North Light Plant to the Aztec Ruins National Monument. Genealogists and local historians can locate specific sites of interest, including the Flora Vista Cem and Memory Gardens, while aviation history is represented by the Aztec Municipal Airport. The map also captures modern utility and transport footprints like Beeline Reservoir and the Old Aztec Hwy, showing the continued evolution of this northern New Mexico hub.
