2010 Map of Mesita Del Gato

About this map

Monte Calvario Cemetery sits at the heart of this high-mesa landscape, serving as a central point for the remote ranching operations of San Miguel County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations including West Mesa, Mesa del Medio, and the namesake Mesa del Gato. Water sources are vital but sparse, represented by intermittent flows through Cherisco Creek and Cuervo Creek, alongside the strategically placed Puerto Windmill and Green Well. The land ownership pattern is distinctly captured through numerous named holdings such as Hage Ranch, Benton Ranch, and specific parcels like Bookout Ranch Section 31. Local transportation is limited to established routes like County Road L E, which navigates the draws and arroyos between the prominent mesas.
