2020 Map of Button Mesa North

About this map

The high plains of eastern New Mexico define this region where Chaves and Roosevelt counties meet. The landscape is primarily a working ranchland environment, organized by a grid of rural routes such as S Roosevelt Road 35 and S Roosevelt Road AM. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by Vest Wells and the seasonal basin of Vest Lake. These features, along with the distinct rise of Button Mesa in the southwest corner, reflect the traditional land use patterns of the Llano Estacado. The network of secondary roads, including Moon Ranch Rd and Co Rd 34, connects isolated ranching interests across the township and range lines.
