2023 Map of Black Mesa Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Shumway Mines and the surrounding high desert plateaus of San Juan County dominate this modern landscape, where deep canyons and rising mesas intersect. The terrain is characterized by dramatic elevation shifts, from the prominent Black Mesa Butte to the broad expanse of White Mesa in the southeast. Water, though often ephemeral, has carved significant features like Cottonwood Canyon and the winding Westwater Creek, creating a network of drainage patterns including Whiskers Draw and Brushy Basin Wash.
