Border Hill stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape, located near the border of Lincoln and Chaves counties. This 2017 survey reveals a complex network of drainage systems and dry washes typical of southeastern New Mexico, including Little Twin Butte Canyon and Twin Butte Canyon to the northeast. The terrain is deeply incised by multiple canyons such as Pine Tree Canyon and Monument Canyon, which both run through the central and eastern portions of the map. In the southern reach, Crooked Cr meanders through Crooked Canyon just as it crosses the Lincoln and Chaves county line. The map primarily documents the intricate topography of the public land survey system, illustrating the townships and ranges that organize this sparsely populated region where only a few rural routes, like Co RD e028, provide access through the ridges.
