2023 Map of Mesa Cencerro

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The Bear Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Socorro County, anchoring the southern portion of the map within the Cibola National Forest. This terrain is characterized by a dense network of canyons and high plateaus, including Mesa Cencerro, Hells Mesa, and Scott Mesa. A clear pattern of historical water reliance is evident through the naming of numerous springs and tanks, which served as vital lifeblood for any activity in this arid environment. Significant water sources like Lumber House Spring Number One and Lumber House Spring Number Two suggest a history of local resource extraction or settlement infrastructure. Other points of interest include Cement Trough Spring and the winding course of Cañon del Alamito, illustrating the complex drainage systems that have carved this portion of New Mexico.
