USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
The Rio Grande corridor in central New Mexico is defined here by an intricate network of irrigation and flood control engineering. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of Polvadera Mountain and the arid cuts of Arroyo del Puertecito into a fertile valley managed by the Lemitar Ditch, Polvadera Ditch, and the Socorro Main Canal. This complex water system, including the San Lorenzo Settling Basin, supported the agricultural life of traditional settlements like Lemitar, Polvadera, and Chamisal during the late 1950s.
