2023 Map of Mescalero Point

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Mescalero Ridge dominates this high-plains landscape in eastern New Mexico, forming a distinct geological escarpment that separates the Llano Estacado from the Pecos River valley to the west. This 2023 survey illustrates a terrain defined by its water sources, where natural features like Mescalero Spring and Graham Spring provided essential relief in a semi-arid environment. The presence of livestock infrastructure, such as Red Tank and Sikes Tanks, highlights the area's ongoing importance for ranching and land management. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Chaves and Lea counties, which runs north-to-south through the eastern sections. A network of rural arteries including Tower Rd and Twin Tower Rd provides access to the top of the ridge, tracing the development of local infrastructure across the caprock.
