Charette Mesa and Apache Mesa dominate this high-plains landscape, where the boundary between Colfax Co and Mora Co cuts across a complex hydrological system. The map documents the vital role of water management in this arid region, centering on Charette Lake and Upper Charette Lake, which are supported by the engineered Charette Lake Diversion Canal. Natural drainages like Sweetwater Cr and Ocate Cr define the surrounding basins, while Laguna Yeso sits in the northwestern corner.
