2010 Map of Robinson Peak

About this map

Robinson Peak rises above a high-plains landscape defined by expansive mesas and deep volcanic features in this Union County survey. The terrain is marked by the distinct elevations of Johnson Mesa and Griego Mesa, which overlook a network of seasonal watercourses like Archuleta Creek and the Dry Cimarron River. Small settlements and ranching outposts such as Doherty, Cruz, and King are connected by local routes including County Road A-34 and Cruz Rd. The map reveals a land shaped by geological history, featuring numerous volcanic landmarks like Jose Butte, Twin Buttes, and Cinder Butte. High-altitude water sources, including Griego Spring, Gringo Lake, and King Lake, punctuate the arid environment, indicating the critical water management required for life in this part of northeastern New Mexico.
