1979 Map of San Juan Mesa East

About this map

San Juan Mesa dominates this corner of the High Plains, where the terrain transitions across the Chaves Co Roosevelt Co boundary. During the late 1970s, the landscape reflects a sparse but active industrial presence, marked by a traversing Pipeline and several infrastructure sites such as a Well and Drill Hole. The elevation of the mesa is utilized for communication, as evidenced by multiple Radio Towers and a singular Radio Tower located at separate points on the plateau. Drainage through this arid environment is channeled primarily through the meandering course of Falsey Draw in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation and utility routes are minimal, though a dedicated Landing Strip suggests the necessity of aerial access for managing the vast ranching or industrial interests in this portion of Roosevelt County.
