Other uses Potrero disambiguation Potrero In English, a potrero is a long mesa that at one end slopes upward to higher terrain. This landform commonly occurs on the flanks of a mountain, as part of a dissected plateau . A loan word from Spanish language , potrero is in current use in the southwestern United States , where it is sometimes translated as tongue of land and enclosed piece of pasture land . Google Books ref John Peabody Harrington 1916 The Ethnogeography of the Tewa Indians , pages 29 618 in Twenty ninth Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, 1907 1908 , Government Printing Office, Washington. Page 259. ref In Spanish language, however, the tongue of land sense is archaic. Also archaic is the related sense of potrero referring to someone who wrangles young horse s potros in Spanish kept as breeding stock not saddle or pack stock . In Spanish, the usual sense of potrero now refers to any land such as a ranch, open range, or community pasture where such horses are kept. In Spain, additionally, a potrero is common land which, due to being community property, is in poor condition see Tragedy of the commons . Notable examples of potreros include some of the many mesas of the Pajarito Plateau near Santa Fe, New Mexico United States . Historically, these potreros were used as winter pasture for livestock horses, sheep, and cattle that were driven to and from lush summer pastures in the high grass valleys valles of the Valles Caldera . Today, these potreros are used in this manner by a large herd of elk . These potreros are natural enclosures, with only one principal exit the narrow connection to higher land.
