About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate this landscape, flowing through a complex network of traditional and modern irrigation systems that define the high desert valley. The map centers on the San Felipe Pueblo, showing the intricate web of water management features including the San Felipe Main Canal, Elota Lateral, and Cochiti East Side Canal. This 1990s revision captures the area's agricultural heritage alongside industrial developments like the Algodones Power Plant and the primary Pipeline corridors.

The terrain transitions sharply from the fertile river valley to the elevated Santa Ana Mesa and Santa Rosa de Cubero. These geological features are interspersed with historical boundaries such as the Angostura Grant Boundary and the extensive Pueblo of San Felipe Indian Reservation. Significant local landmarks like the San Felipe Sch and Algodones Sch provide anchor points for genealogists and local historians tracking the development of the river communities of Algodones and La Mesita.
