2023 Map of Cerro Prieto

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Cerro Prieto stands as a prominent volcanic landmark at the center of this high-desert plateau, marking the boundary between Cibola and Catron counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage patterns, including Pascual Draw and Hubbell Draw, which carve through the arid terrain toward low points like Garcia Lake. Cattle ranching and land management legacy is evident in the naming of features such as Green Tank and the scattered county road network, including Catron County Road A034 and Hubbell Road. To the north, the elevation rises toward Hawkins Peak and the expansive Flattop Mesa, offering a detailed view of the geophysical character of this sparsely populated region of New Mexico. The map illustrates how human infrastructure, primarily through roads like Waltons Way, adapts to the natural contours of the high-altitude draws and mesas.
