Mimbres River
The Mimbres River is a tributary of the Gila River and flows through southwestern New Mexico. The river has a length of approximately 80 miles and its hydrology is largely influenced by seasonal precipitation. The river is home to several dams and reservoirs, including the Lake Roberts Dam and Reservoir and the Bill Evans Lake Dam and Reservoir. These reservoirs serve as important sources of water for irrigation and domestic use in the region. The Mimbres River has a rich history and was an important source of water for the Mimbres culture, an ancient Native American civilization that thrived in the area from 200-1150 AD. Today, the river is a popular recreational destination for activities such as fishing, camping, and hiking. Additionally, the river supports important agricultural activities in the region, including the production of pecans, alfalfa, and other crops.
