2013 Map of Moreno Hill

About this map

Santa Rita Mesa and Moreno Hill anchor this high-altitude landscape along the border of Cibola and Catron counties. The map captures a high desert environment where water management is central to the land's utility, marked by numerous catchments such as Heffner Tank and Mueses Canyon Tank. The presence of the Morelos Cem near NM-191 suggest the enduring threads of local heritage in this arid terrain. Transport and infrastructure are defined by the winding course of NM-601 and the isolated High Lonesome Airport, while natural drainage patterns are carved by Carrizo Wash and Largo Cr. The landscape transitions from the flats of Red Flat Wash to the prominent heights of Circle Butte, illustrating the varied topography of this New Mexico quadrangle.
