About this map

Antelope Pass serves as a central geographic corridor through the high-desert terrain of Hidalgo County. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, where the Peloncillo Mountains rise to the west and landmarks like Grey Mtn and the uniquely named Nipple Hill dominate the horizon. The presence of Clay Mine Rd and the extensive Gas Line Rd suggests an area historically shaped by resource extraction and infrastructure development.

Remote canyons such as Hackett Canyon, Long Canyon, and Basin Canyon drain into Martin Draw, carving intricate patterns into the arid slopes. The road network, including NM-9 and various local connectors like Silver Spring Rd and Dough Rd, provides insight into the accessibility of this borderland region. This map is a record of land use and topographic character in the New Mexico Bootheel during the early 21st century.
