About this map

Delgadita Mesa defines the high-altitude landscape of this eastern San Juan County region, where deep erosional features carve through the plateau. The map highlights a remote section of the New Mexico interior just west of the Rio Arriba County line. Local transportation is anchored by US Highway 64, which skirts the northern reaches of Gobernador Canyon, while secondary routes like Co Road 520 and Co Road 492 provide access to the interior rangeland.

The settlement of Pettius sits near the head of the canyon systems, serving as a rare named point of habitation in a territory dominated by drainage networks like Delgadita Canyon and Jasis Canyon. To the south, Carrizo Creek winds through Carrizo Canyon, illustrating the hydrological patterns that have shaped this arid environment. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary look at the land partitions and road networks that support the local ranching and energy-extraction infrastructure.
