2010 Map of Circle S Mesa

About this map

West Cemetery and nearby Fish Ranch anchor this high-plains landscape in Quay County, where the topography transitions between broad plateaus and carved drainage basins. The area is defined by the massive Circle S Mesa to the east and the prominent peak of Pyramid Mountain in the northeast corner. This 2010 survey records a rural ranching environment where life revolves around water and access, evidenced by features like the Ham Windmill and the network of unpaved routes such as Quay Road 43. The land is dissected by numerous seasonal watercourses, including the winding Adobe Walls Creek and Wilson Creek, which drain the expansive West Flat and Ogle Flat. In the south, the terrain descends toward Garcia Creek and the rugged cut of Bogard Canyon, illustrating the varied elevations of the New Mexico mesa country.
