2010 Map of Bancos Mesa NW

About this map

Navajo Reservoir dominates this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, where the sprawling water body fills the branching valleys of the San Juan River basin. The 2010 shoreline is traced in detail, showing the intricate finger-like inlets created by Cottonwood Canyon and Eul Canyon. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Navajo Landing Strip on the northern plateau, while agricultural history persists through the alignment of the Miller Ditch. High mesas define the horizon, including Carracas Mesa and Quintana Mesa, bordering the complex drainage systems of Cabresto Creek and the southern Laguna Seca Draw. The map documents a rugged network of rural routes, such as County Hwy 527 and Carracas Mesa Rd, which provide access to these remote tablelands and the settlement area of Bancos.
