2023 Map of Fire Rock Well

About this map

Escavada Wash and Gallo Wash define the drainage patterns of this high-desert landscape in the San Juan Basin. The terrain is marked by a complex network of seasonal watercourses, including the notable Cañada Alemita, which carves through the southern portion of the quadrangle. Human activity is evidenced by a sparse grid of rural infrastructure, such as Co Rd 7970 and Co Rd 7900, which provide access to this isolated region of San Juan County. The presence of the Dike Pit Tank suggests the importance of water management for local land use. This modern survey reflects the enduring character of the New Mexico badlands, where the natural hydrography remains the primary structural element of the map.
