About this map

San Juan River defines the central corridor of this San Juan County landscape, supporting the communities of Bloomfield and Lee Acres. The map reveals a complex system of irrigation and water management essential to this arid region, including the Hammond Main Canal and the Kutz Canyon Ditch. These man-made features weave through the alluvial plains, contrasting with the dramatic natural drainages of Gallegos Canyon and Horn Canyon to the south.

Residential and agricultural development is concentrated along the river valley and atop the high ground of Crouch Mesa Rd, while the surrounding terrain remains marked by traditional land markers like Gallegos Spring. The network of county roads and local routes provides a clear view of the rural-to-suburban transition occurring near the turn of the millennium, as established towns like Bloomfield expanded alongside specialized sites such as Keller Field.
