2010 Map of Mount Nebo

About this map

The Animas River corridor in northwestern New Mexico reveals a landscape defined by water management and high-desert relief in this 2010 survey. Agricultural and industrial infrastructure is visible through a complex network of irrigation channels, including the Twin Rock Ditch, Ralston Ditch, and Canyon Ditch, which redirect water from the river valley. To the east, the terrain rises into the Mesa Mountains and toward the namesake peak of Mount Nebo. The map documents numerous vital water sources scattered across the arid canyons, such as Miller Spring, Hidden Springs, and Stephel Spring, alongside the C C Reservoir. This geographic record captures the area's dependency on seasonal and managed water, tracing the deep cuts of Long Glade Canyon and Sandstone Canyon through the high mesas.
