2017 Map of Tinaja Mountain

About this map

Tinaja Mountain and its surrounding high-plains topography dominate this New Mexico landscape, characterized by dramatic mesas and intermittent watercourses. The drainage patterns of Blosser Arroyo and Eagle Tail Cr illustrate the arid hydrology of Colfax County, where water is a vital but seasonal presence. Notable landmarks like Tinaja Mesa and Dwyer Mesa flank the corridor of Blosser Gap, a significant passage through the varied elevations. The presence of Cottonwood Spring highlights the importance of reliable water sources in this high-elevation terrain. This modern survey, compiled using data from the Bureau of Land Management and the National Hydrography Dataset, offers a precise view of the land's contours and established roads such as A 11.
