The Rio Grande corridor in New Mexico serves as the central artery for this agricultural landscape, where the settlements of Hatch, Salem, and Rodey follow the river's path through the Rincon Valley. This 2017 survey details the complex network of irrigation necessary for desert farming, including the Hatch Canal, Salem Lateral, and Angostura Lateral. The relationship between the lowlands and the surrounding topography is clear, with the Caballo Mountains rising to the northeast and drainage features like Spring Canyon and Placitas Arroyo feeding toward the river basin.
