2013 Map of Crow Mesa East

About this map

Crow Mesa and Little Blue Mesa dominate this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, where natural resource extraction and rugged terrain define the local geography. The map captures an era of industrial activity marked by the Devils Fork Gas Field and the Escrito Oil Field, connected by a network of local thoroughfares such as CO Road 503 and CO Road 377. Settlement is sparse, represented by the B C O Camp located near the center of the survey. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated through systems like Rincon Largo, Palluche Wash, and Blanco Wash, which cut through deep canyons including Adams Canyon and Johnson Canyon. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the infrastructure required to maintain energy operations across the mesa and ridge country near the Rio Arriba Co border.
