2013 Map of Black Mesa
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Mesilla Valley defines this portion of the Chihuahuan Desert, where the Rio Grande serves as the central artery for an intricate network of irrigation channels. Settled areas like Mesilla and San Pablo sit amidst a complex grid of water management features, including the Picacho Drain, Alamo Drain, and California Lateral. This hydrological system is essential for the valley's agricultural character, contrasting sharply with the arid elevations of Black Mesa and Santo Tomas Mtn to the south.
