2023 Map of Broom Mountain

About this map

Broom Mtn stands as a prominent landmark in this arid stretch of Cibola County, overlooking a landscape defined by expansive mesas and an intricate network of drainage basins. The area is characterized by massive elevated formations such as Blue Water Mesa, Ward Mesa, and Seven Cedar Trees Mesa, which are dissected by deep cuts like Blue Water Canyon. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the numerous named stock tanks and catchment features like Henderson Reservoir and Apache Spring. The presence of Indian SVC Rte 212 and the survey lines for t6n r7w and t5n r7w suggest a sparsely populated territory where traditional ranching or tribal land use predominates. Watercourses such as Gallegos Creek and Arroyo Colorado trace the natural path of seasonal runoff through the broken terrain of The Alcon, while Victorino Mesa anchors the southeastern corner of this high-desert survey.
