1996 Map of Hatch
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
The Rio Grande and its complex irrigation network define the agricultural character of the Rincon Valley in this late 20th-century survey. The landscape is heavily engineered to manage water, featuring an intricate system of channels like the Hatch Drain, Hatch Lateral, and Hatch Canal. These works support the concentrated settlements of Salem, Hatch, Placitas, and Rodey. Of particular interest to researchers is the prevalence of family-named water control structures, including the Reed Thurman Dam, Wardy Hedgehog Dam, and Velarde Dams, which illustrate the localized nature of land management in Doña Ana County.
