About this map

Lincoln and Chaves County borders bisect this high-desert landscape in the late 1980s, revealing a terrain defined by intermittent water sources and deep drainage systems. The survival of local ranching and aviation is evidenced by the presence of a Landing Strip and critical water points such as Twin Butte Well and High Lonesome Well. The topography is a complex network of dry corridors including Monument Canyon, Twin Butte Canyon, and Pine Tree Canyon, which carve through the prominent Border Hill. These features illustrate the sparse but essential infrastructure required for life and industry in this portion of New Mexico, where a lone Gravel Pit indicates local resource extraction amidst the vast stretches of undeveloped land near Crooked Creek Canyon.
