About this map

The settlement of Gary sits along a major transportation corridor in the high desert of Hidalgo County. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the alluvial basins and the southern reaches of the Pyramid Mountains. To the east, the terrain rises significantly toward summits like Lee Peak, Aberdeen Peak, and Lookout Hill, while the western portion of the map is dominated by the broad, dry expanses of Tobosa Flats and South Alkali Flat.

Ephemeral water systems shape the topography, with Lordsburg Draw and Aberdeen Draw cutting across the flats. Local land use is evidenced by Slough Tank and roads like Banner Mine Rd, indicating a history of ranching and mineral exploration in the canyons. The presence of Banner Canyon and Gore Canyon near the southern boundary further illustrates the complex drainage patterns of this arid environment.
