1999 Map of Largo Mesa

About this map

Largo Mesa dominates this corner of the Apache National Forest, where the high timberland is defined by a network of drainage canyons and livestock water infrastructure. In this late 20th-century revision, the reliance on seasonal water sources is evident through numerous named catchments like Armijo Tank, Telephone Tank, and Leon Tank, alongside established points like Section 12 Well and Agua Fria Spring. To the south, the terrain rises toward Agua Fria Mountain, while the eastern portion of the quadrangle is deeply incised by Paradise Canyon and Bobcat Canyon. Geologic landmarks such as Castle Rock and The Hub provide distinctive navigational markers across the mesas. The presence of a Gravel Pit and proximity to Sawmill Creek hint at the local forest-based industry and resource management within the Escondido Mesa area.
