About this map

The village of San Ysidro sits at the confluence of the Jemez River and the Rio Salado, serving as a central hub in this high-desert landscape. This 2020 survey highlights the intricate water management system essential to the region, featuring the Mexican Ditch, the Zia Supply Canal, and the Zia Reservoir. The terrain is defined by prominent landforms such as the southern reaches of the Sierra Nacimiento, White Mesa, and Mesa Cuchilla, which provide significant topographic relief.

Modern land use is evident through the extensive White Ridge Bike Trails winding through the gypsum-rich hills. For those interested in local history, the San Ysidro Cem remains a primary landmark near the village center. Natural water sources like Peñasco Springs and Indian Spring are scattered throughout the draws and canyons, while the Zia S Side Canal underscores the ongoing importance of irrigation in the Rio Grande basin.
