2020 Map of Bluewater

About this map

Bluewater sits along the southern edge of this quadrangle, where the street grid of Center Ave and Main St meets the historic corridor of Hst Rte 66. The landscape north of the settlement transitions from the drainage of Mitchell Draw into a high-desert terrain marked by volcanic and mesa formations. Significant topographical landmarks like Haystack Mtn and the cinder cone of El Tintero rise above the surrounding plateau, providing clear orientation points for this section of the Colorado Plateau. The northern boundary of the map is dominated by the broad elevation of Mesa Montanosa. Local travel is documented through a network of rural routes such as Little Mountain Rd and Haystack Rd, while the political boundary of the McKinley Co Cibola Co line bisects the territory, reflecting the administrative divisions of this high-altitude region.
