About this map

Santa Rita Mesa dominates the high ground of this western New Mexico landscape, a region defined by its critical water sources and ranching history in the early 1970s. The map illustrates a reliance on scattered water points, ranging from the historic Old Santa Rita Springs and New Santa Rita Springs to mechanical improvements like the Medanoso Windmill and Espejeda Windmill. These features indicate the persistent effort to sustain livestock in an arid environment where drainage patterns like Largo Draw and Tejana Draw provide only seasonal relief.
