The county from the air

48 shown

Flown by the U.S. Geological Survey between 1937 and 1989, the Aerial Photo Single Frames collection is the definitive mid-century view of the land: fields, roads and rivers as the camera saw them. The Survey holds 12,555 frames inside the rectangle that bounds this county; the 48 frames below were taken over the county itself, chosen across the decades of flights (at most four a year from that rectangle), so one flight cannot crowd out the rest. The full set is free to browse and download at EarthExplorer under the dataset Aerial Photo Single Frames.

August 2024Thunderstorm Wind(Fmn)Farmington Airport$3,000,000The Farmington Four Corners Regional Airport observed thunderstorm wind gusts peaking at 66 mph. These thunderstorm wind gusts produced thick blowing dust, power outages to 8,000 customers, and a down 69kV power line resulting in power outages around Aztec and surrounding areas. Power line damage cost is an estimate.
August 2010Flash FloodFarmington$2,000,000Significant flooding plagued the Farmington area during the evening hours of August 1st. More than 2.5 inches of rain fell in 3 hours, but most of the rain fell in about a 30 minute time frame. Some of the hardest hit areas are described in the following paragraphs. ||The Webb Chevrolet-Toyota dealership and neighboring businesses along East Main Street between Gila St. and Hannon Dr. was described as a swamp. Weeds and shrubs were wrapped around the tires of each truck as water, mud and debris flooded into the lot. The force of the water moved one truck about six feet, and moved a nearby dumpster approximately 100 yards. Also in this area, a man whose car got stuck at the intersection of Cliffside Dr. and East Main got trapped in shallow, quick moving water. The man was rescued by firefighters and was unharmed.||Near the intersection of Largo St. and Railroad St., water was estimated to be 6 to 12 inches deep at the height of the event. Water damage was evident to at least two residences. ||An arroyo that crosses Hubbard St. near Peace Valley Road was flowing over the roadway. A high school senior attempted to drive through the waters, when her car was washed away. Her car traveled approximately 80 yards down the arroyo before she was rescued. She was unharmed, but her car was destroyed. After the waters receded, it became evident that Peace Valley Road was partially eroded away beneath the pavement.||Due to a holding pond that overflowed, five homes around the Country Club suffered significant damage, including one basement that was completely filled with water. Most of these homes were filled with no less than 6 inches of water on the ground level, resulting in damage of carpet, tile and other objects or furniture that was on the floor. Landscaping was completely eroded away, and fence lines were downed.||A mudslide was also reported on County Road 3000 at mile marker 9.5. The road was impassible until the mud was cleaned off the road.
August 2016Flash FloodShiprock$1,000,000Serious flash flooding developed on Salt Creek Wash and created major damage to a community near Mesa Farm Road. Three to four homes were severely damaged and one home was destroyed. Several vehicles, motorcycles, recreational vehicles washed into creek and destroyed. Water rescues occurred from roof tops and amazingly no one was killed.
August 2015Flash FloodAztec$1,000,000The Blanco Arroyo overflowed its banks and, combined with heavy rain across the area, led to significant flash flooding. Firefighters rescued a few individuals from the roofs of their homes, otherwise no major injuries or fatalities were reported. Several homes were reportedly shifted off their foundation and a propane tank at one of those homes was swept away in the flood waters. Multiple classrooms were damaged at three area schools, causing all schools to be closed on the 27th and one school, Lydia Rippey Elementary, to be closed on the 28th. The Aztec Municipal Golf Course at Hidden Valley was closed until further notice due to damages incurred from the flooding. A large rock slide closed Navajo Road 36 at mile marker 28, with other smaller road closures reported around Aztec. Measured rainfall in the area ranges from an inch to a little over an inch and a half.
June 2024Flash Flood(Fmn)Farmington Airport$500,000Multiple reports of flash flooding across Farmington including along the La Plata and San Juan Rivers, including vehicles driving across flooded low water crossings. A video from the emergency manager showed the La Plata River raging and partly out of its banks. These included along Southside River Road on the west side of Farmington. A vehicle was stuck in a ditch along the San Juan River, thankfully the driver made it out safely. There was an overflowing ditch and arroyo with fast moving water at Brookside Drive and Navajo Street. There was several inches of water moving across Crouch Mesa east of Farmington and south of Flora Vista. U.S. Highway 64 at Andrea Drive and between County Road 5500 and 5777 where the road was completely flooded with swift moving water and impassable. A normally dry wash also observed a one foot rise with debris including small pieces of furniture. Flooding lasted well after the heavy rains ended as evident on the San Juan River gauge (FRMN5) showing river levels did not recede until after 10:00 pm MDT. Damage is an estimate based on the very limited information provided.
August 2024Flash FloodShiprock$500,000Heavy runoff within the Baker Arroyo jumped out and flooded west and south, impacting U.S. Highway 64, Christ the King Catholic Church, the Central Consolidated School District and the Chat and Chew restaurant. At least two homes were destroyed or made uninhabitable. Damage cost is an estimate.
August 2015Thunderstorm WindFlora Vista$350,000Significant damage reported on a property near Flora Vista likely the result of intense microburst winds. The winds downed over 100 very large cottonwood trees, including a few that were completely uprooted. The tops of a few trees were completely snapped off, as well. Metal roofing on a barn was torn off and horizontally displaced about 20 yards on nearby power poles. The falling timber along with the wind itself caused damage to a barn roof, a pop up camper, a canoe, a trampoline, and a camper. Based on the EF-toolkit winds from this storm may have reached as high as 104 mph. No injuries or further damages resulted from the microburst.
June 2024Flash FloodRattlesnake$250,000NMDOT reported the bridge along U.S. Highway 64 at the AZ border was severely damaged by flash flooding. The original bridge was in the process of being replaced and what was destroyed was a temporary bridge structure until a new bridge was constructed. Damage is an estimate.
September 2013Flash FloodFlora Vista$250,000Widespread flash flooding was observed in Farmington. Numerous crashes and stalled vehicles were stranded in flood waters. Several flooded and damaged drainage systems along Peace Valley Road, Hubbard Road, East Navajo Street, Main Street, Butler Street, Apache Street, and San Juan Boulevard caused widespread flooding of parking lots, low lying areas, homes and businesses. Mud, rocks, and debris flows were reported at Webb Chevrolet, KFC, Si Senors, Taco Bell, and Park-n-Sell.
August 2022Flash FloodBloomfield$200,000Flash flooding reported along County Road 4990 at Armenta Wash near Bloomfield with water flowing over the roadway. This completely destroyed the roadway. Damages are estimated.
June 2024Thunderstorm WindFarmington$150,000A trained spotter measured a 65 mph wind gust. A single wide mobile home was pushed off its blocks with minor damage to the structure. Other wind damage reports include a tree limb falling through a roof, a mangled metal car port, damaged horse sheds, and 15 power poles blown down. Damage is an estimate.
August 2022Flash FloodNewcomb$150,000Video shared on the social media platform Tik Tok showed impressive and devastating flash flooding near Sheep Springs. A massive wave of water near U.S. Highway 491 swept horse trailers, farm equipment, and lawn furniture downstream. Water overtopped the hoods of parked vehicles and inundated a few structures and residences. Damages are a rough estimate.
July 2021Flash FloodChaco Canyon$150,000Heavy rain and extreme flash flooding impacted Chaco Canyon National Historical Park. Damage to roadways, including the north and south entrances to the park, was reported along with damages to the Gallo campground.

August 1999Flash FloodBloomfield$150,000After a series of moderate rain showers, ditches and small arroyos which were clogged with mud and debris, overflowed with water and mud damaging about 5 homes and also closing streets into some neighbourhoods.
July 2022Flash FloodAztec Muni Arpt$130,000Heavy rain in the Flora Vista to Bloomfield area in San Juan County caused significant flash flooding in the area. A spotter reported that approximately two feet of water covered County Road 3150, rendering it impassable. Two vehicles were washed away and one home was flooded. Near Crouch Mesa, the San Juan emergency manager reported flash flooding over area roadways, and an RV was washed out. Damages are estimated.
August 2024Flash FloodShiprock$100,000Heavy runoff within the Salt Creek Wash overtopped a bridge along Farm Road or B.I.A. 364 and nearby homes. Vegetation overgrowth exacerbated these flood waters. Yellow Arroyo also flooded out over property, homes and nearby roadways from the same round of thunderstorms. Damage cost is an estimate.
July 2010Flash FloodBloomfield$100,000Four trees washed into Kutz Canyon along with portion of a neighboring horse corral. Four feet of the embankment was eroded away.
July 2001Heavy RainShiprock$100,000The main building of Shiprock High School suffered a roof collapse during a storm with heavy rain and gusty winds. A 20-foot section of collapsed roof severed a 4 inch fire-sprinkler water pipe which then caused flooding of 12-15 classrooms.

September 2010Flash FloodLa Plata$10,000One home was flooded approximately 9 miles north of Farmington on Highway 170. Heavy rainfall, combined with insufficient drainage along the highway, resulted in water flowing across the roadway and into the house. High water marks suggest the water was around 10 inches deep, which destroyed carpet and other objects on the floor.

September 2010Flash FloodBlanco$2,000Flash flooding occurred along CR4990. A damage survey found that several arroyos flow from the higher terrain to the south of the road northward into the San Juan River. Though radar indicates that the brunt of the precipitation fell to the south of the road, the road became impassible at several locations as there was evidence that a large swath of mud and water flowed across the road, underneath some nearby raised residences. Since these homes were elevated, they did not receive any damage inside. The storm moved east-northeast near the intersection of CR4990 and CR4550, just south of Blanco, where there was some evidence that high waters flowed there recently.
August 2023Thunderstorm WindFruitland$1,500There was a downed utility pole from a likely strong gust front and microburst ahead of a line of storms moving east from Arizona.
