2010 Map of Tortugas Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 2010About this map
Las Cruces and the adjacent New Mexico State University campus anchor the western edge of this desert landscape, where the Chihuahuan Desert meets urban expansion. To the east, Tortugas Mountain rises as a prominent landmark, surrounded by a high concentration of mineral extraction sites including the Tortugas Mine, Santiago Mine, and Manganese Number One Mine. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of drainage channels such as Alameda Arroyo, North Fork Las Cruces Arroyo, and Fillmore Arroyo, which are managed by several flood-control structures like the North Fork Dam and Tortugas Site Number One Dam.
