The settlement of Dunken serves as the central point of this high-desert landscape in Chaves County, situated at the junction of several ranching roads. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainages, most notably the Rio Peñasco in the northern section and Bluewater Creek further south. These watercourses and their associated valleys have long dictated the movement and habitation patterns of the region, as evidenced by the established Jennings Ranch and the winding path of Co Rd 24.
