1961 Map of Mesa Cortada

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The high desert landscape of McKinley County is defined by its dramatic mesas and water-dependent ranching history. Rancho de la Punta and isolated outposts like Michael Ranch suggest a sparse settlement pattern tied to seasonal grazing and access to water sources like the Flowing Well and Ojo Navajo. The land is carved by a complex network of ephemeral drainages, including the wide Arroyo Chico and San Miguel Creek, which flow around massive topographic features such as the Mesa Cortada and the Battleship formation.
