About this map

The Wagon Mound rises as a prominent landmark in this northeastern New Mexico landscape, anchoring a terrain defined by high mesas and seasonal drainage systems. The survey details a network of waterways including Arroyo Jarosa, Vermejo Cr, and Ciruela Cr that cut through the high plains. To the north, the elevation climbs toward Las Mesas Del Conjelon, while Gallegos Lake sits at the western edge of the quadrangle.

Industrial and transport corridors are represented by the Frontage Rd corridor, mirroring the modern path of travel through Mora County. The map provides specific geographic context for land tracts within the t20n r21e and t19n r21e townships, capturing localized features such as Bootlegger Canyon and the Wilcox Draw. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Mogote Hills, providing a clear record of the area's physical geography in the early 21st century.
