2010 Map of Goshawk Dam

About this map

Agricultural irrigation systems define this landscape in Conejos County, where an intricate network of waterways manages the high-desert terrain. The eastern portion of the sheet is marked by the long, north-south run of the Bountiful Lateral, while the Romero Ditch and Mogote Ditch crisscross the central flats to support local ranching. To the south, a cluster of small reservoirs including Goshawk Dam, Turkey Dam, Swan Dam, and Ostrich Dam provides critical water storage. The topography is further shaped by natural drainage features such as La Jara Arroyo and Las Mesitas Ditch. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued reliance on a complex hydraulic infrastructure, where County Roads like County Road R and FDR 249 navigate the spaces between these vital water lines.
