2017 Map of Tejana Mesa SW

About this map

Apache National Forest lands anchor the southeastern portion of this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by dramatic volcanic features and deep drainage systems. The prominent peak of Cerro Pomo rises in the northwest, serving as a significant topographical landmark overlooking the surrounding high desert plateaus. The map details a remote network of interior canyons, most notably Cottonwood Canyon, which cuts through the central sections of the survey. Transportation in this corner of Catron County is limited to a handful of established thoroughfares, including Catron Co Rd A015 and Box Lake Rd. These roads follow natural contours, connecting isolated ranching lands and forest boundaries. The survey provides a clear view of the complex public land grid, spanning townships t2n r18w and t1n r17w, reflecting the area's history of cattle grazing and land management.
