2013 Map of Loma Linda

About this map

The Animas River and Florida River define the irrigation-heavy landscape of La Plata County in this 2013 survey, which illustrates the transition from the city of Durango into the residential and agricultural expanses of Florida Mesa. Significant local infrastructure is prominent, including the Animas Air Park and the larger Durango-La Plata County Airport, alongside small-scale settlements like Loma Linda and Grandview. The map reveals a complex network of water management essential to the high desert climate, tracing features such as the Florida Canal, Florida Farmers Ditch, and Pastorius Reservoir. Deeply incised topography is evident in the many named draws and canyons like Wilson Gulch, Trumble Draw, and Phillips Canyon, while transportation corridors like Us-160 and Us-550 link these rural developments to the urban core. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of Crestview Memorial Garden and the proximity to the Carbon Junction area provide specific points of geographic reference.
