2020 Map of San Juan Mesa East

About this map

San Juan Mesa dominates the high ground of this eastern New Mexico landscape, straddling the border between Chaves and Roosevelt counties. This 2020 survey illustrates a characteristic Western ranching and transport grid, defined by long, straight stretches of road that follow section lines despite the underlying topography. The elevation drops sharply into Falsey Draw, a drainage feature that breaks the plateau in the western half of the map. Local access is provided by a network of ranch and county roads, including Boone Ranch Rd and San Patricio Rd, which connect isolated land parcels. The transition from the flat mesa tops to the recessed draws provides a clear look at the modern rural infrastructure used to navigate this arid environment.
