The intersection of Chaves, Lincoln, and Otero Counties defines this high-desert landscape, where ephemeral water sources and rugged drainages dictate the geography. Named for its primary hydrological features, the area is characterized by several distinct depressions and catchments, including Big Flying H Lake and Little Flying H Lake. These features, along with Circle Diamond Lake and Deep Lake, suggest a pastoral land use where ranching and livestock management rely on these scattered basins.
