1995 Map of Cal Ship Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Datil Mountains high country and the complex drainage systems of the Cibola National Forest define this western New Mexico landscape. The terrain is a network of mesas and deep canyons, including the namesake Cal Ship Mesa and White Mesa, which are incised by features such as Remuda Canyon, Thompson Canyon, and Gooseberry Canyon. This area reflects a reliance on isolated water sources for land management and ranching, evidenced by the scattered distribution of wells and tanks. Named points like Government Tank, Blue Place Well, and Sawmill Well indicate the functional infrastructure required to support activity in these higher elevations. Notable springs such as Skeleton Spring and Maverick Spring emerge from the canyon walls, while the southern edge is defined by the Base Line, marking a primary surveying boundary for the region.
