The Purgatoire River Valley forms the central axis of this Otero County landscape, where the confluence of numerous arroyos and canyons defines the local topography. The settlement of Higbee serves as the community hub, supported by the Higbee Valley Sch and the Higbee Cem. The area is characterized by an extensive network of dry watercourses, including Alkali Arroyo, Salt Arroyo, and McMahon Arroyo, which cut through the high plains toward the river.
