2010 Map of Kilbourne Hole

About this map

Kilbourne Hole defines the northern landscape of this Doña Ana County survey, represented as a prominent maar crater in the New Mexico desert. The terrain is marked by these rare volcanic depressions, including the central Hunts Hole and the more modest Phillips Hole to the east. The map reveals a high-desert environment largely devoid of permanent settlement, characterized instead by a network of rural routes such as County RD-A011 and County RD-A015. These roads suggest a landscape primarily utilized for transit and scientific study of the distinct geological formations. The systematic grid of property lines in the southwest, near A 008 County RD, indicates a transition toward more structured land parcels compared to the open expanses surrounding the craters.
