2017 Map of Dough Mountain

About this map

The Rio San Jose cuts across the northern expanse of this high-desert landscape, where the settlement of Mesita sits near the crossing of Interstate 40. This territory is defined by a series of prominent mesas and volcanic landmarks, including the central Dough Mountain and the distinctive Lava Butte and S Lava Butte to the south. The mapping reveals a sophisticated network of tribal infrastructure, notably numerous Indian Service Routes such as Indian Svc Rte 491 and Indian Svc Rte 543, which connect disparate water resources and settlements like Tsidu-Weza.
