Four Corners Flooding — The San Juan River, Live
Flood warnings across Colorado, New Mexico and Utah; the San Juan River near a historic crest at Shiprock. Check the region's highway corridors live — free, no signup.
The biggest weather story in the United States this week is in the desert. Up to 5 inches of rain since October 21 have flooded the Four Corners — flood warnings are active across south-central Colorado, central New Mexico and southeastern Utah, and the San Juan River is surging toward a historic crest near Shiprock, New Mexico, reported as its highest since 1935. Evacuations, water rescues and Colorado National Guard airlifts followed; a tornado touched down in Santa Fe on October 24. This page gathers the region's live public cameras — 28 within 40 km of Durango, 9 within a wide 80 km of Shiprock, 21 around Moab — so the corridors the region travels can be checked before anyone drives them.
An honest note about density, up front: this is not a city wall. The Four Corners is high-desert country where the state DOT networks are spread a day's drive apart, and the camera counts above are what a wide regional net honestly yields — dozens, not hundreds. Farmington, in the middle of the story, has no cameras in the directory within 40 km at all, so it appears in the text and not as a wall. What the page offers is the thing that is actually useful in a desert flood: the highway corridors — US-491, US-160, US-550, US-64 — watched live, town by town.
Desert flooding works differently from coastal flooding. The San Juan and its tributaries drain an enormous, sparsely gauged basin; rain that fell on red rock miles away arrives as a wall of water in an arroyo under blue sky. That is why the framing here is road conditions — which routes are passable, where the water is still rising — rather than spectacle, and why the official warning box below matters more than any camera on the page.
Flood warnings for the region run through October 27. This page stays up as the region's standing flood-watch wall for the drainages it covers.
Official warnings come first
Flood warnings, evacuations and road closures are issued by the National Weather Service and tribal, county and state emergency agencies — not by any camera site. Check the current warning for your exact location before you travel, and never drive through flooded roads or washes: desert flash floods arrive fast and carry debris.
Shiprock & the San Juan River
9 cameras within 80 km of Shiprock — the widest net on this page, cast around the town where the San Juan River is running toward its highest level since 1935. The wall watches the US-491 and US-64 corridors and the river-valley approaches; expect distance between cameras, because that is the country as it is.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.
Durango & the Animas Valley
28 cameras within 40 km of Durango, the densest wall in the region — the US-550 and US-160 corridors through southwestern Colorado, in the part of the state that took evacuations and National Guard airlifts during this flood.

Cortez & Mesa Verde country
9 cameras within 40 km of Cortez — the US-491/US-160 junction town between Durango and Shiprock, on the route the whole region uses to move between Colorado and New Mexico.

Moab & the Utah canyon country
21 cameras within 50 km of Moab — the southeastern Utah end of the region, where the same rain system crossed the Colorado River canyon country and its one highway in and out, US-191.

The event at a glance
The rain
Up to 5 inches since October 21 across the Four Corners states — an extraordinary total for high-desert country in October, falling on ground and drainages built for a fraction of it.
The river
The San Juan River near Shiprock surged toward historic crest levels, reported as the highest since 1935 — the benchmark flood in the river's recorded history for this reach.
The response
Evacuations and water rescues across the region, with Colorado National Guard airlifts in southwestern Colorado. A tornado also touched down in Santa Fe on October 24 as the same system crossed New Mexico.
The honest coverage note
Farmington, New Mexico — in the middle of the affected area — has no public cameras in this directory within 40 km, so it has no wall here. The nearest coverage is the Shiprock and Durango walls above.
How to check your route
- 1Find the wall nearest your route — Shiprock for US-491/US-64, Durango for US-550, Cortez for the Colorado–New Mexico junction, Moab for US-191.
- 2Check the corridor cameras for standing water, closures and whether traffic is moving — then confirm with the National Weather Service warning and your state DOT before setting out.
- 3Treat every wash and low-water crossing as closed unless officials say otherwise; desert water rises faster than it drains.
- 4Recheck before the return trip: flood crests move downstream for days after the rain stops.
