2020 Map of Youngs Lake

About this map

Farmington and Kirtland anchor the southern edge of this San Juan County landscape, where the high desert meets an intricate network of arroyos and mesas. The terrain is defined by dry washes like Fourmile Wash and Narrows Wash, which drain from the higher elevations of Pinon Mesa and Ute Dome toward the south. Water management in this arid environment is evident through a series of named tanks and reservoirs, including Wallace Tank, Harper Tank, and the Meadows Reservoir.
