2013 Map of Sallies Spring

About this map

The San Juan River and Mancos River converge in this arid borderland where New Mexico meets Colorado. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems including Salt Wash, Shoe Game Wash, and Beelabito Wash, illustrating the complex hydrology of the High Desert. Transportation through this remote terrain is marked by utility and service corridors such as Pipe Line Rd, BIA Route 5113, and Indian Service Route 5038, which cross the boundaries between Montezuma and San Juan counties. This survey provides a precise look at the land partitions and natural watercourses that dictate the movement of people and resources across the state line in the early 21st century.
