2020 Map of Mesa Pino

About this map

Mesa Pino rises as a prominent landform above the drainages of the Conchas River in this arid reach of San Miguel County. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several ephemeral waterways, including Garita Cr, Corazon Cr, and El Poso Cr, which carve through the high plains terrain. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a network of rural routes such as Co Rd C58B and Creek C-58-C. For those researching local family history or the early ranching footprints of the region, the Sena Cem stands as a significant cultural landmark in the northeastern portion of the sheet. The map effectively documents the transition from river bottoms to high mesas, showing the isolation and rugged geography characteristic of this part of New Mexico.
