2020 Map of Alamo Mesa East

About this map

Alamo Mesa rises above a desert landscape defined by an intricate network of seasonal drainage channels in this San Juan County survey. The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of Split Lip Flats in the south to the dissected uplands near Ojo Alamo Spring. Water, though ephemeral, has clearly shaped the geography here, leaving behind the deep cuts of De-na-zin Wash, Alamo Wash, and Willow Wash. Unlike many Western maps defined by towns and railroads, this portion of the Eastern Navajo Agency is characterized by its open range and a sparse network of roads, including Is RT 7023 and Co RD 7280. The map captures the physical reality of the New Mexico high desert where land management and natural hydrology are the primary features of interest.
