1961 Map of Mesita Americana

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Mesita Americana and the nearby Mesita Camp sit at the center of this 1961 topographical survey of northwestern New Mexico. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage channels, including the North Fork Chico Arroyo and Arroyo Lucero, which cut through the high desert terrain. Human activity in this portion of McKinley County is marked by isolated outposts like the Ball Ranch and essential water infrastructure such as the Demitro Flores Well and Calladito Tank. A notable Landing Strip near the ranch indicates the region's reliance on aerial access for transport and supplies. The survey also identifies prominent local landmarks like VABM 6674 Flores and several arroyos, including Arroyo Padilla and Arroyo Calladito, providing a clear picture of the area's hydrology and land use before later developments.
