2010 Map of Mosquero

About this map

Mosquero sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the town's street grid contrasts with the sprawling drainage networks of the Canadian River basin. This 2010 survey highlights the rural community infrastructure of Harding and San Miguel counties, most notably the Mosquero Cemetery and Saint Joseph Cemetery located just north of the central settlement. The terrain is defined by dramatic depressions and watercourses, including the steep-walled Fragoso Canyon and Orchard Canyon to the southeast, and the seasonal drainage of Mosquero Creek. Small, isolated locales like Waggoneer, Galey, and McDaniels are linked by a network of county roads, such as County Road O, illustrating the sparse but persistent ranching and agricultural settlement pattern of this region. To the north, the appearance of Black Lake suggests the presence of alkali or playa lake features characteristic of the Llano Estacado's edge.
