2023 Map of Rayado

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Rayado stands at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the transition between the plains and the rugged mesa systems of Northern New Mexico is clearly defined. The terrain is dominated by massive flat-topped elevations including Kit Carson Mesa, Ortega Mesa, and Rayado Mesa, which dictate the drainage patterns of several waterways. Streams such as Rayado Creek and Moras Creek flow eastward from the high ground, while Miami Lake sits at the base of the mesa complex, serving as a significant catchment in this arid environment. For those tracing the human history of the area, the Abreu Cem and the settlement of Sunny Side offer tangible links to the ranching families and early inhabitants who navigated this challenging topography. The map also records the boundary line between Colfax Co and Mora Co, providing a precise look at local jurisdictional divisions in the southern reaches near Espinosa Lake.
