2023 Map of Mesa Sarca

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Mesa Sarca dominates the central landscape of this Socorro County region, marking a sharp topographical transition where the desert floor rises into high plateaus. The drainage patterns across the territory reflect the arid environment, defined by seasonal watercourses like Arroyo Monte Largo and Arroyo Pato. These natural features, along with the Coyote Draw in the southeast, historically dictated the movement of livestock and the placement of vital water resources. Evidence of local ranching and land management is found in the scattered water improvements such as Middle Tank, Rock Tank, and the spring at Ojo Saladito. The map also captures the intersection of three different counties, showing the precise boundaries where Cibola, Valencia, and Socorro meet in the high desert of New Mexico.
