2010 Map of Mesa Palo Amarillo
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
La Mesa del Medio and Mesa Palo Amarillo dominate this high-desert landscape in Guadalupe County, where water management and ranching define the human footprint. The map reveals a sparse network of pastoral infrastructure, most notably the Marquez Ranch and specialized water sources like the Secundino Windmill and the New Windmill. These features indicate the ongoing reliance on groundwater to support livestock in a region carved by seasonal drainages. Potrillo Creek and Cañon Blanco cut through the terrain, illustrating the natural erosion patterns of the New Mexico mesas. Remote access is provided by a thin grid of local routes, including County Rd-4 and County Rd-4N, which connect these isolated homesteads and water points across the arid plateau.
