2023 Map of Crow Mesa East

About this map

Crow Mesa and Blue Mesa dominate the high desert terrain of western Rio Arriba County in this contemporary topographic study. The landscape is defined by a series of dramatic mesas and deep drainages, where the headwaters of Palluche Wash and Blanco Wash cut through the sandstone layers. This map documents a specialized network of county roads, including Co Rd 503 and Co Rd 377, which provide access to this remote corner of the San Juan Basin. The intricate topography of Crow Canyon and Adams Canyon reveals the erosional patterns of the region, while isolated water sources like Iron Spring highlight the essential landmarks for navigation and land use in an otherwise arid environment. The map provides precise section lines and township boundaries essential for property research and land management.
