2004 Map of Mescalero
USGS Topo · Published 2006About this map
Tularosa Creek carves a critical corridor through this high-altitude landscape, where the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation meets the northern boundary of the Lincoln National Forest. The settlement of Mescalero serves as a central hub, containing essential community infrastructure including a hospital, a fish hatchery, and a dedicated ceremonial ground. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Rinconada Canyon and Nogal Canyon, which direct the flow of numerous seasonal waters and permanent springs such as Church Spring and Telles Spring. Evidence of early 20th-century industry and land use is visible near the settlement of Bent, where several mines and a gravel pit are located. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites including the Mescalero Indian Cemetery and Blazers Cem, alongside family-named landmarks like Carrillo Canyon and Pinkey Canyon.
