About this map

San Felipe Pueblo and the village of Algodones occupy a complex landscape defined by the traditional and modern water management systems of the Middle Rio Grande Valley. In this 2010 survey, the Rio Grande is flanked by an intricate network of irrigation and drainage infrastructure, including the San Felipe East Side Ditch, the Algodones Riverside Drain, and the Cochiti "East-Side" Main Canal. This engineering reflects centuries of agricultural adaptation in a desert environment, where water rights and access are paramount.

To the west, the flat expanse of Santa Ana Mesa rises above the river valley, while the eastern terrain is cut by several ephemeral drainages like Arroyo Tonque and Arroyo de San Francisco. Local transit is facilitated by numerous Indian Service Routes, such as Indian Service Route 84 and Indian Service Route 386, connecting the primary settlements and providing access to landmarks like the Algodones Post Office.
