2013 Map of Mescalero

About this map

Tularosa Cr carves through this high-altitude landscape of the Sacramento Mountains, defining the orientation of settlements and transportation routes. In the eastern portion of the survey, the community of Mescalero serves as a focal point, anchored by Saint Josephs Mission and the nearby Mescalero Indian Cem. The map provides a detailed view of the rugged canyon system north of the settlement, including Soldier Canyon and Mardem Canyon, which lead toward the heights of Sierra Blanca. To the west, the village of Bent sits near the confluence of several drainages, marked by its local post office and the Walters Cem. Historical industrial footprints are visible at Blazers Mill, while the surrounding Lincoln National Forest encompasses prominent landmarks such as Lion Peak. The network of springs, including Church Spring and Telles Spring, illustrates the critical importance of water sources in this mountainous New Mexico terrain.
