2013 Map of Medina Mesa

About this map

Medina Mesa and the high plateaus of San Miguel County define this landscape, where water management is the primary signature of human activity. The map reveals a network of windmills and tanks essential for ranching in this arid environment, including Chillie Point Windmill, Wildcat Windmill, and Medina Windmill. These points of infrastructure, often named for local families or landscape features, serve as the few fixed landmarks across the expansive terrain.
