2013 Map of Mescalero Point NE

About this map

Mescalero Ridge dominates the southeastern quadrant of this West Texas and New Mexico borderlands landscape, creating a sharp topographical break across the high plains. This 2013 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching environment where water management is the primary infrastructure, as evidenced by naming conventions like Pecan Tank and Cottonwood Tank. The presence of North Windmill and Heights Windmill further underscores the reliance on groundwater for livestock in this arid region of the Llano Estacado. Transportation is limited to a few arterial routes such as NM-172 and Mathers Rd, which navigate the terrain near Polecat Canyon. The map also delineates the precise boundary where Chaves and Lea counties meet, providing a clear view of the complex township and range survey lines that define the local land parcels.
