2013 Map of Dos Lomas

About this map

Dos Lomas and the surrounding mesas define this arid landscape on the border of McKinley and Cibola counties. The high plateaus of La Jara Mesa, Flat Mesa, and Mesa Montanosa overlook a network of seasonal drainages, including San Mateo Cr and Arroyo del Puerto. Evidence of the region’s ranching history is present through landmarks like Rancho Del Puerto and Roundy Ranch. Human settlement is concentrated near El Puertecito, while much of the eastern terrain is protected within the Cibola National Forest. The map also captures several rugged features with evocative names like Poison Canyon and Round Butte. State highway NM-605 serves as the primary artery through this high-desert environment, connecting scattered homesteads and navigating the complex topography of the Zuni Mountains region.
