2013 Map of East Mesa

About this map

East Mesa dominates this landscape of the High Desert, where vertical relief is defined by a network of steep-walled drainages and isolated landmarks. The northern reaches are punctuated by the sharp profile of Needle Pinnacle, standing between Ojo Canyon and Paradise Canyon. This area shows the intersection of traditional land use and infrastructure, with Sarracino Ranch and Southwest Plaza marking points of human presence in a terrain otherwise carved by the seasonal flows of Vetech Wash and Sand Canyon.
