2013 Map of Mesa Larga

About this map

Laughlin Peak dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, rising above a network of mesa-and-arroyo terrain in Colfax County. This 2013 survey illustrates a high-desert environment where drainage patterns like Green Mountain Arroyo and Blosser Arroyo cut through the prominent tablelands of Mesa Larga, Troyburg Mesa, and Loco Mesa. The human footprint is sparse but specific, defined by small settlements such as Aragon, Cunico, and Hennegan. Transportation is anchored by the winding path of NM-193, which serves as the primary artery connecting these high-altitude locales. Local land use is further evidenced by secondary routes like Moore Camp Rd and Laughlin Peak Rd, reflecting a landscape geared toward ranching or resource management amidst the dramatic topographic features of Nipple Peak and Round Mesa.
