Collins Hills and the Cornucopia Hills define the arid topography of this Otero County landscape, where water management is the primary marker of human activity. The map reveals a sophisticated network of ranching infrastructure, characterized by numerous named tanks such as Middle Rincon Tank, Venado Tank, and El Paso Tank. These features, alongside Dry Lakes, suggest a reliance on seasonal catchment in a region carved by ephemeral drainages like Jernigan Wash and Moccasin Draw.
