Button Mesa and Punta Culebra de Cascade define the high ground of this landscape along the border of Lea and Chaves counties. This arid region of New Mexico is characterized by a reliance on water storage, evidenced by the distribution of catchment points such as White Tank, North Plains Tank, and East Sand Tank. These features suggest a landscape traditionally dedicated to ranching and livestock management, where human intervention is necessary to support activity on the plains.
