2020 Map of Good Sight Peak NE

About this map

Sierra de las Uvas dominates the eastern portion of this high-desert landscape, creating a dramatic topographical contrast against the flatter terrain to the west. This area on the boundary of Luna and Doña Ana counties is crossed by the historic Butterfield Trl, a route deeply tied to the expansion of mail and passenger transit in the American West. The presence of Massacre Peak in the southeast corner provides a landmark for those studying the region's complex frontier history and early surveying efforts. Water resources are scarce in this arid environment, making features like Howard Tank critical points of interest for livestock management and early transit. Rural roads such as Cattlemen Rd NE and Uvas Valley Rd NE indicate the continued use of this land for ranching, while Pine Canyon offers one of the few named topographical breaks in the northern reach.
