2020 Map of Melena

Transportation through the region is defined by a grid of rural routes such as Capitan Rd and Marrujo Rd, which connect the scattered properties and grazing lands. Natural landmarks like Ballard Hill and Garcia Flat provide topographic relief against the broad drainage basins of the Skull Lake area and the Lost River. The map captures the intersection of traditional land divisions, marked by township and range boundaries, with the modern infrastructure of the 21st-century New Mexico plains.
