2023 Map of Antelope Hill

About this map

Antelope Hill rises as the central landmark in this high desert section of Luna County, where the arid landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and deep drainage channels. Ranching infrastructure is evident through the placement of Criswell Tank in the northwest and Upton Tank to the southeast, strategically located to capture runoff in a territory where permanent water is scarce. The drainage pattern is complex, with San Vicente Arroyo and Whitewater Creek cutting through the northern reaches, while West Antelope Draw and Jones Spring Draw provide critical relief for the southern terrain. This modern survey illustrates how the grid of the Public Land Survey System, including t21s r12w and t21s r11w, overlays a land still primarily accessed by rural routes like Berta Moore Rd and Co Rd D017.
