2013 Map of San Acacia

About this map

The Rio Grande and its complex irrigation network define the valley floor in this Socorro County landscape, where the San Acacia Po and Alamillo settlements sit along the river's western bank. This 2013 survey illustrates the critical infrastructure of the high desert, featuring the Alamillo Ditch and the San Acacia Drainage Canal as they manage water through the arid terrain. To the west, the topography rises sharply toward the Sierra Ladrones, a massive uplift that overlooks a series of dry washes such as Arroyo Tio Lino and the broad, sandy expanse of the Rio Salado. The map documents the intersection of modern transport and traditional land use, showing the San Acacia-Polvadera Interchange alongside segments of Old Highway 85. From the high peaks of Loma Blanca to the low-lying Valle Frutosa, the sheet provides an intricate look at the canyon systems and named ridges like Cerritos de las Minas.
