2017 Map of San Antonio

About this map

The Rio Grande corridor in Socorro County anchors this 2017 survey, revealing a landscape defined by traditional riverine settlements and an intricate network of irrigation channels. Small communities like San Antonio and San Pedro are linked by a grid of local roads and the prominent San Antonio Ditch and Elmendorf Ditch, which parallel the river to support local agriculture. The terrain shifts abruptly east of the river as the fertile valley floor gives way to the drainage of San Pedro Arroyo and the rising elevations of the Quebradas. To the north and west, the smaller settlements of Bosquecito and Laborcita sit amidst a complex of rural routes, including Windy's Farm Rd and Farm Market Rd. The presence of features like Nogal Canyon and Walnut Creek underscores the dynamic hydrology of the area, where desert arroyos meet the managed waters of the valley's historic ditch system.
