2023 Map of Bancos Mesa NW

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The San Juan River defines the heart of this high-desert landscape in Rio Arriba County, feeding into the expansive Navajo Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent landforms, including Middle Mesa, Carracas Mesa, and Quintana Mesa, which rise above the surrounding canyons and drainage systems. Cultural and historical points are sparse but significant, notably the Santa Rosa Memorial Cem near the northern boundary. The irrigation history of the region is evidenced by the Miller Ditch, while the natural topography is carved by features like Cañon Bancos and Cottonwood Canyon. A network of rural roads such as Carracas Mesa Rd and Rosa Rd provide access through the complex of mesas and draws, illustrating the enduring patterns of land use and navigation in this corner of New Mexico.
