2013 Map of Broom Mountain

About this map

Broom Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert region of Cibola County, where the landscape is defined by massive mesas and intricate drainage systems. The terrain transitions from the broad Blue Water Mesa and Ward Mesa into the deep incision of Blue Water Canyon. Water management is central to the human footprint here, evidenced by a network of catchments and windmills including the Henderson Reservoir, Red Windmill Tank, and Ward Windmill, which support ranching across the township lines. Historic naming patterns are visible in features like The Alcon and Victorino Mesa, while natural landmarks such as Seven Cedar Trees Mesa and Apache Spring provide specific points of interest for those tracing the environmental and cultural geography of the New Mexico interior.
