2013 Map of Tejana Mesa SW

About this map

Cerro Pomo rises as a prominent landmark in the northwest corner of this high-altitude landscape, part of a terrain defined by the deep incisions of Cottonwood Canyon. The area exhibits the characteristic isolation of the western New Mexico borderlands, where human presence is marked by sparse infrastructure and large landholdings like the Burnett Ranch. A network of unpaved arteries, including CO Road A015, Box Lake Rd, and Road 80A, connects the high mesas and provides access to the southeastern reaches of the Apache National Forest. This mapping reflects a modern era of land management, illustrating how the Public Land Survey System township and range lines continue to dictate the organization of this wide-open ranching country.
