Carrizo Creek (Mescalero Reservation, New Mexico)
 | This article may need to be rewritten to comply with Wikipedia's quality standards. (May 2022) |
Carrizo Creek is a stream in Otero and Lincoln counties in the U.S. state of New Mexico.[1] It forms to the southwest of, and feeds into, Mescalero Lake,[2] just inside the north central border of the Mescalero Reservation.[3] The creek then continues east of the lake.[4] It turns north and then east again, shadowed by Carrizo Canyon Road,[5] before feeding into the Rio Ruidoso south-southeast of Ruidoso, New Mexico.[6]
This should not be confused with the Carrizo Creek extending from west of Grenville, New Mexico, into Rita Blanca Creek just west of Dalhart, Texas,[7] nor with many similarly named Carrizo Creeks in other locations.
