2017 Map of Candy Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 2017

About this map

The arid high plains at the border of Quay and De Baca Counties characterize this topography. The intermittent waters of Truchas Cr flow through the northwest corner of the quadrangle, marking one of the few drainage features in this stretch of eastern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by its expansive mesas and subtle depressions, typical of the ranching country that spans the region. Settlement is exceptionally sparse, with the map focusing on the natural relief and the vast sections of the Public Land Survey System that govern the land ownership patterns of these open rangelands.
