2017 Map of Wind Mesa

About this map

Wind Mesa and Pajarito Mesa dominate this Bernalillo County landscape, characterized by high-desert plateaus and a complex network of administrative and tribal roadways. The 2017 survey details the topographical contours of these landforms, including the prominent elevation at Blackbird Hill. The area is bisected by numerous Indian Service Routes, such as Indian Svc Rte 61 and Indian Svc Rte 613, reflecting the land's transition from open mesa to more structured residential corridors like Powers Way and Los Padillas Rd. Seasonal drainage is represented by the ephemeral Cedar Wash, which cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t8n r1e and t9n r2e, provides the underlying structure for this rural New Mexico territory.
