Hi neighbor nw NM resident 40 years here . I too have fished hunted and worked in the area for years.
I have done my stint in the patch . Worked on rigs punching holes on and around the said mesa . I know the whole area has been seismographed by
Amoco the old Texaco XTO and Conaco Philips . Depending on who holds the mineral lease on what part of acreage who seisamgraphed which area.
If someone could get a look at the readings that could help. You would have to determine what area is likely and who owns the lease there . and if it
is under production if it is then most likely there has been a graph taken .
I travel to just west of the mesa once a week for subcontracting with a gas company. I have Drove around beyond my prescribed duties to look for any
clue for any basis for these base claims on Archuleta Mesa and I havent seen any . I started going to the area in 1968 hunting on the Carson which is
just west of Archuleta Mesa and the jicarillia reservation. We did get a permits to hunt on the mesa in the 70s 7 or 8 times turkey deer and elk .
Then I wasn't concerned with a base but was consumed with the wildlife action and populations to maximize success we didnt run into any thing out of
the ordinary on the western side of Archuleta Mesa never did the town side south or the east but did up to the Colorado border . I personally have
my doubts that any thing is there .
The area is Big and alot of cliffs and canyons . but I have my doubts .
