2020 Map of Mills West

About this map

Kiowa National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape, where the flat mesas are dramatically interrupted by the deep incision of the Canadian River and its tributary canyons. The settlement of Mills sits on the eastern edge of the quadrangle, serving as a gateway to the complex terrain of Cañon Mesteño and Cañan Mestenito. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote ranching and conservation character of Harding County, New Mexico, defined by a sparse network of section roads like Case Rd and Mestenito Rd. Genealogists may find value in the isolated Mestenito Cem, while the winding course of Mills Canyon Rd traces the descent from the plains into the Mestenito Valley, revealing the erosional patterns of the Mora and Harding county line.
