About this map

The Rio Grande corridor south of Socorro is defined by its historic irrigation networks and riverside settlements in this 2013 topographic study. The landscape is a study in desert hydrology, where the San Antonio Ditch and Elmendorf Ditch run parallel to the river, supporting agricultural operations like Duncan Farms and the Padilla Ranch. This managed water system is the lifeblood of communities like San Antonio, where the San Antonio de Acuñas Mission stands as a cultural landmark.

To the east, the terrain transitions into the dry washes of the San Pedro Arroyo and the uplift near Nogal Canyon, while the small settlement of Bosquecito remains tucked between the river and the arid hills. The map captures the intersection of traditional land use and modern infrastructure, including the path of Us-380 and local thoroughfares like Bosquecito Rd and State Road 1 that connect these dispersed ranching and farming outposts.
