Caballo Reservoir dominates this landscape, where the waters of the Rio Grande are held against the western slopes of the Caballo Mountains. The small settlements of Caballo and Oasis sit west of the water, connected by a network of rural routes including Carriage Dr and Palomino Rd. This area reflects a desert economy shaped by water management and transit, with the Caballo Cem serving the local community and numerous arroyos like Greyback Arroyo and Nordstrom Arroyo draining the high ground to the west.
