2020 Map of Mesa SE

About this map

N Main St cuts a straight north-south path through this arid portion of Chaves County, serving as the primary corridor for a landscape defined by ranching infrastructure and seasonal watercourses. The drainage of Fivemile Draw and its tributaries, including East Fork Fivemile Draw and Middle Fork Fivemile Draw, weave through the western portion of the quadrangle. For those studying the agricultural history of New Mexico, the map reveals a critical network of water storage features essential for livestock in this environment, such as Fivemile Tank, Lake Tank, and Tank in the Flat. A grid of rural roads like Donna Anna Rd and Chickweed Rd provides access to these remote reaches, where the land is strictly partitioned into townships including t5s r23e and t6s r24e.
