About this map

Coyote Peak and the Coyote Hills rise above the high-desert landscape at the boundary of Hidalgo and Grant counties. This Southwestern terrain is defined by its drainage patterns and water management, featuring seasonal watercourses like South Pyramid Draw and Baker Canyon. The importance of water in this arid region is reflected in the distribution of catchments, including Lower Camp Tank, South Tank, and New Coyote Tank.

Modern transportation and recreation intersect here as the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl winds through the hills, crossing ranching infrastructure like Mayfield Ranch Rd and the straight-line path of Pipeline Rd. The map illustrates the transition from the broad Playas Valley floor to the prominent ridges of the Brockman Hills, providing a clear look at the topographic character of this remote borderland area.
