2020 Map of Frutosa Lake

About this map

Mora River carves a deep path across this section of Northern New Mexico, winding through a landscape of high mesas and drainage canyons. The boundary between Mora and San Miguel Counties bisects the area, where the flat top of Mejan Mesa overlooks the convergence of numerous canyons. Ephemeral water sources like Frutosa Lake and Morrison Lake punctuate the high ground, while Jabra Spring and Pedroso Cr provide vital drainage into the main river valley. This terrain is defined by its dramatic erosion patterns, including Garza Canyon and Cañon Cibolo, which reflect the complex geography of the Canadian River basin. While primarily remote ranchland, the presence of localized routes like Co RD C 53 A indicates the continued use of these traditional grazing lands.
