2002 Map of Mesa Portales

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest lands dominate this high-desert landscape in Sandoval County, defined by the massive uplift of Mesa Portales and Mesa de Cuba. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of dry washes and seasonal water sources, including Arroyo Chijuillita and Arroyo Jarido. In an environment where water is a vital resource, the map identifies specific points of interest such as Ojo de Gutierrez, Moreno Spring, and Smoky Spring. This 2002 revision reflects the intersection of natural topography and industrial activity, marked by numerous Drill Holes and a major Pipeline cutting through the San Isidro Valley. A small Cem and various corrals suggest the enduring presence of ranching and local settlement amidst the mesas.
