About this map

Flora Vista and its surrounding river valley settlements are defined by an intricate network of irrigation canals essential to this high desert landscape. The Animas River cuts through the center of the terrain, feeding a series of historic waterworks including the Halford Independent Ditch, Farmers Ditch, and Kello Blancett Ditch. These waterways support the communities of Spencerville and South River, while the northern reaches transitions into the higher elevations of Bald Mesa.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail regarding local burial sites, with several large cemeteries documented including the Farmington Lodge 24 of IOOF Cem and Memory Gardens of Farmington. To the west, the landscape is shaped by the presence of Lake Farmington and Beeline Reservoir, while the northeastern corner shows the growth of Aztec near the Aztec Municipal Airport. The map meticulously records the numerous arroyos, such as Hedges Arroyo and Ellis Arroyo, that drain into the central river corridor.
