2023 Map of Palo Blanco Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Palo Blanco Mountain dominates this northeastern New Mexico landscape, serving as a primary topographical anchor for the surrounding high plains. The drainage systems of Carrizo Creek and Palo Blanco Creek define the local hydrology, carving through the terrain alongside features like Laird Canyon and Torcido Canyon. For those researching local history, the Palo Blanco Cem near the southern boundary provides a specific point of interest for genealogical study. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Colfax Co and Union Co, which runs north-south through the eastern portion of the sheet. The sparse distribution of named roads, such as Yucca Rd and Kennedy Rd, reflects the ranching character of this region, where water sources like Alamo Spring and Barela Lake were essential for sustaining early land use.
