1972 Map of Cat Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Cat Mesa rises above the high desert floor in this 1970s survey of Socorro County, anchoring a landscape defined by its scarce water resources and cattle ranching. The presence of Monte Prieto Ranch in the northwestern corner, paired with several remote water points like Rish Well and New Flat Well, illustrates the essential infrastructure required for survival in this arid environment. A large geological (Depression) dominates the northern central portion of the quadrangle, creating a natural catch for the area's drainage.
