About this map

The borderlands of Luna County are defined by the international boundary between the United States of America and Estados Unidos Mexicanos. This arid landscape is dominated by the elevations of the Carrizalillo Hills and the southern edge of the Cedar Mountain Range, where water sources like Corrizalillo Spring provide vital points in the desert terrain. The small settlement of Hermanas sits at a junction of roads near Baker Draw, marking a quiet outpost in this high-desert environment.

Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are shaped by seasonal watercourses such as Hermanas Draw and Cox Draw. Man-made water features, including Number 1 Tank, Number 2 Tank, and Thirtythree Tank, illustrate the local reliance on surface water management for ranching or land use. Local landmarks like Johnson Mtn and the winding route of Carzalia Loop anchor the geography of this remote southwestern New Mexico territory.
