The Purgatoire River carves a deep path through the northwestern corner of this landscape, creating the dramatic Purgatoire Canyon. This area is characterized by a complex network of drainage systems, including Beaty Canyon, South Canyon, and the curiously named Stinking Hole Canyon. Much of the territory is managed under the Comanche National Grassland and the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site, reflecting a dual use of the land for conservation and military training.
