2023 Map of Kitchen Cove

About this map

Carlsbad serves as the eastern anchor for this area of Eddy County, where the transition from municipal outskirts to the rugged foothills of the Guadalupe Mountains becomes apparent. The landscape is defined by a complex network of drainage systems, including Dark Canyon Draw and Elbow Draw, which cut through the high desert terrain. Notable geographic features such as the Cueva Escarpment and the Frontier Hills provide significant relief, while the western edge of the sheet climbs toward the high ground of Guadalupe Ridge.
