2023 Map of Bulldog Mesa

About this map

Bulldog Mesa and Mesa Redonda dominate this high-plains landscape in Quay County, where the terrain is defined by the drainage networks of Plaza Larga Creek and Apodaca Creek. The map documents a sparsely settled ranching or agricultural region organized by a strict grid of rural routes, including Quay Road 53 and Quay Road AJ. Evidence of early community life is preserved at Newhome Cem in the northeast and Apodaca Cem further south. Water management is a central theme of the land's utility, marked by features such as the Savage Lateral and Regulator Reservoir Number 2. These structures, alongside several smaller unnamed catchments, highlight the critical nature of irrigation and water storage in this semi-arid environment, providing a detailed look at the infrastructure required to sustain the local area.
