2020 Map of Moreno Hill

About this map

Moreno Hill sits at the northern edge of the Catron and Cibola county line, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal drainages and high desert mesas. The area's ranching history is evidenced by numerous water catchments like Heffner Tank and Mueses Canyon Tank, which support the dry stretches between Carrizo Wash and Largo Cr. In the southwest corner, the Morelos Cem provides a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing early families in this remote corner of New Mexico. The terrain transitions from the prominent Santa Rita Mesa in the northeast down toward Perry Canyon and Circle Butte. Transportation across this section of the state is limited to rural routes such as Co RD 35 A and Henderson Way, while the presence of the High Lonesome Airport near the northern boundary reflects the modern necessity of aviation in such an expansive environment.
