The Mimbres River valley serves as the central artery for this mid-1980s Grant County landscape, where the agricultural settlements of San Lorenzo and Mimbres sit flanked by the foothills of the Gila National Forest. This region shows a distinct pattern of valley floor habitation, with numerous small irrigation ditches and siphons paralleling the river to support local ranching and farming. North of San Lorenzo, the terrain breaks into a series of deeply etched drainages including Noonday Canyon and Ancheta Canyon.
