The Capitan Mountains dominate the southern portion of this Lincoln County survey, providing a backdrop for a high-desert landscape defined by complex drainage networks and water management. Within the bounds of the Lincoln National Forest, the terrain rises toward heights such as Read Mesa and the prominent East Carrizo Cone. Water is the defining resource here, evidenced by numerous named catchments like Ten Dollar Tank, Iron Mine Tank, and Dogtown Tank, which support cattle and wildlife in this arid environment.
