2020 Map of Medina Mesa

About this map

Medina Mesa dominates the high ground of San Miguel County in this modern survey, where the rugged plateau surface breaks away into deep drainages like Medina Canyon and Monia Canyon. The landscape is defined by its arid hydrology, showing an extensive network of water catchments essential for ranching in this part of New Mexico. Named features like Tanque Grande, Blue Tank Number One, and Blue Tank Number Two reveal the placement of vital infrastructure across the high desert terrain. Along the southern edge of the quadrangle, landmarks such as Miller Peak and Gobblers Knob provide distinct elevation markers. The map also records the boundary line where Harding Co meets San Miguel Co, intersected by seasonal drainages including Wynn Cr and Atarque Cr.
