2013 Map of Desert SE
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
The Hueco Mountains rise sharply above the arid expanse of the Tularosa Valley in this corner of southern New Mexico. Spanning the border of Otero and El Paso counties, the landscape is defined by its reliance on isolated water sources. A network of named tanks, including Chaparral Tank, Flat Tank, and Lake Tank, dots the terrain, indicating the vital infrastructure used for livestock and land management in this high-desert environment. The map details the state line where New Mexico meets Texas, capturing a remote region where topographic relief and water management are the primary features of human and natural geography.
