The international border between the United States of America and Mexico defines the southern edge of this Chihuahuan Desert landscape. The terrain is dominated by the prominence of Coyote Hill and the adjacent depression of Indian Basin, which break the flat expanse of Luna County. Settlement is sparse, focused around the small community of Arena which sits near the transition from the basin floor to the rising slopes of the hill. Transportation in this high-desert environment is limited to unpaved routes like Pol Ranch Rd and Anapra Rd, reflecting the ranching and border patrol activity characteristic of this remote portion of New Mexico.
