About this map

The Sacramento Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this landscape, where the rugged terrain of the Lincoln National Forest gives way to a network of deep drainages including Deadman Canyon, Escondido Canyon, and Negro Ed Canyon. To the west, the arid basin floor is marked by the small settlement of Valmont and an extensive grid of rural roads such as Dog Canyon Rd and Fairchild Rd.

Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by the large Boles Wells Water System Annex and dispersed water sources like Lawson Spring, Laney Spring, and Langford Windmill. Much of the southern and central territory falls within the boundaries of the Fort Bliss Military Reservation, illustrating the intersection of public land, private holdings, and military training grounds in Otero County.
