2020 Map of Cowboy Mesa

About this map

Cowboy Mesa rises as the central geographic landmark in this high-plains landscape of Lincoln County, characterized by a sparse network of ranching infrastructure and seasonal water drainages. The mapping reveals a reliance on water management in this arid environment, evidenced by named catchments like Clarence Tank and the meandering path of the Cola del Gallo Arroyo. The land is divided into township and range grids, with travel primarily facilitated by rural routes such as Co RD b020 and Co RD b021. Wide natural depressions like Buck Draw and Corn Draw define the local topography, indicating the subtle but critical flow of water across this expansive New Mexico terrain. This record provides a clear view of the area's rural development and hydrologic features as they were documented in 2020.
