The real-life "Mesa Verde" extends south into New Mexico (a territory at the time of the film), but scenes show saguaro cacti which grow only in the mid and southernmost part of Arizona and northwestern Mexico. Being a fictitious story, the "Mesa Verde" in the film may well be a fictitious place, as the precise location is never given. and allowable under artistic license. The term itself means "green table" and may have been used to describe any mesa with plant life on it. More likely, though, is that this story was filmed in Arizona because 1) there's a studio there (Old Tuscon Studios) and 2) to use the saguaro as a symbol of the old west, a common practice in Hollywood at the time.
