2020 Map of Mesa Del Yeso

About this map

Puertecito of Bowling Green and Cerrillos del Coyote anchor this Socorro County landscape, where complex drainage networks define the terrain. The map details a high-desert environment dominated by the prominent Mesa del Yeso and the southern rise of Johnson Hill. An intricate system of ephemeral watercourses, including Arroyo Varrido, Arroyo del Veranito, and the extensive Arroyo de la Parida, illustrates the regional hydrology. The inclusion of Ojo de la Parida suggests a vital water source in this arid expanse. Strategically placed routes such as WSMR P Route 5 cut through the sections, reflecting the modern utility and accessibility of this land south of the Ladron Mountains. Small locales like Cañoncito Colorado and Cañoncito de la Uva indicate localized geographic naming conventions tied to the arroyo and canyon systems.
