2017 Map of San Juan Mesa East

About this map

San Juan Mesa dominates this corner of the High Plains where the border of Chaves and Roosevelt counties bisects the landscape. The terrain is defined by the sharp escarpment of the mesa and the drainage of Falsey Draw, which cuts through the center of the survey area. This 2017 topographic record documents a sparse ranching environment marked by a grid of rural roads and section lines. Notable transit routes include Boone Ranch Rd and San Patricio Rd, which provide access to the remote cattle country. The map captures the precise intersection of public land survey systems, including the corners of T3S R29E and T5S R30E, illustrating how the western grid was applied to this high desert topography.
