2020 Map of Antelope Pass

About this map

The Peloncillo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape of Hidalgo County, New Mexico, where the topography is defined by prominent peaks and drainage systems. This 2020 survey highlights Antelope Pass as a key natural corridor, flanked by the distinct elevations of Beacon Hill and Grey Mtn. The map reveals a network of canyons and draws, including Basin Canyon, Black Canyon, and Martin Draw, which channel the region's scarce runoff. Human activity in this arid environment is evidenced by specialized infrastructure like Gas Line Rd and Clay Mine Rd, alongside a naming convention that reflects the local flora and geography, seen in roads like Greasewood Rd, Yucca Ln, and Chiricahua Ln. The layout of these ranch roads and utility corridors suggests a sparsely populated region focused on resource extraction and livestock transit.
