About this map

Mesita De Yeso rises as a prominent landmark in this portion of Cibola County, where the high desert terrain is defined by a network of drainage channels and deep canyons. The landscape is carved by several ephemeral waterways, including Ojo Hallado Draw and Pinitos Draw, which converge and traverse the eastern sections. These geographical features, along with Guillermo Canyon and Cañon Ancho, dictate the flow of travel through this arid environment.

Modern access is maintained through rural routes such as Co RD 33 and Co RD 32, which snake through the draws and canyons. The map documents the intricate Public Land Survey System grid, spanning several townships from T8N R18W down to T6N R17W. This 2023 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey provides a precise view of the drainage patterns at Trujillo Draw and Terrero Draw, essential for understanding the hydrological character of this New Mexico plateau.
