2023 Map of La Plata
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The La Plata River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and agriculture in this corner of San Juan County, defined by an intricate network of irrigation channels. Water management is central to the landscape, with features like Pioneer Ditch, Greenhorn Ditch, and Hillside-Thomas Ditch diverting flow to the surrounding canyon-cut terrain. The small community of La Plata sits at a crossroads near the center of the sheet, supported by these historic water rights and the proximity to high-desert ranching lands.
