2020 Map of Broom Mountain

About this map

Broom Mtn anchors the high desert landscape of this portion of Cibola County, where intricate canyon systems and flat-topped mesas define the drainage patterns. The geography is dominated by Blue Water Canyon and the seasonal flows of Blue Water Cr and Gallegos Cr, which feed into various stock tanks and reservoirs essential for land management in this arid region. High points like Blue Water Mesa and Victorino Mesa provide prominent landmarks overlooking a network of remote infrastructure, including Indian Svc Rte 212. Numerous named water catchments such as Henderson Reservoir, Bates Tank, and Red Windmill Tank illustrate the historical and ongoing necessity of water storage for ranching or local use. The presence of Apache Spring and Seven Cedar Trees Mesa further indicates a landscape shaped by specific natural landmarks and vital water sources.
