The Purgatoire River carves through this corner of Otero County, defining a landscape of canyons and arroyos within the Comanche National Grassland. The small settlement of Higbee serves as the focal point of the valley, situated near the confluence of McMahon Arroyo and the river. Evidence of earlier travel and local genealogy is preserved in features like the Higbee Cem and the Barlow-Sanderson Wagon Road Trl, which traces a path across the uneven terrain toward the southwest.
