About this map

Apache Hills and the prominent Apache Peak dominate the northeastern reaches of this survey along the border of Grant and Hidalgo counties. This arid landscape is characterized by its wide basins and isolated mountain ranges, with the southern terrain rising into the Sierra Rica foothills. The distribution of water sources, such as Little Chapo Tank, indicates the vital importance of seasonal catchments for livestock and transit in this high-desert environment.

Transportation through the Hachita Valley follows a network of established routes including Hatchet Ranch Rd and Shipping Pens Rd, reflecting the ranching heritage of the New Mexico bootheel region. The map also delineates Quartzite Ridge, a distinct geological formation situated between the primary peaks and the valley floor, providing a detailed look at the township and range boundaries of the T28S and T29S districts.
