2020 Map of Arch Mesa

About this map

Arch Mesa and Herrera Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape in the Eastern Navajo Agency, where complex drainage systems like Cañada de San Antonio and Cañada los Apaches carve through the plateau. This 2020 survey reveals a quiet, open region defined by long-standing ranching and tribal connections, anchored by the settlement of Piedra Lumbre in the southwest. A critical convergence of county boundaries occurs here, as the lines for Sandoval, Cibola, and Bernalillo counties meet amidst the mesas. The network of unimproved roads, including Laguna Tribal Rd and Lobo Ranch Mgr Rd, indicates a sparsely populated area where water sources like Jose Manuel Spring and features such as Standing Rock remain vital landmarks for navigation and local history.
