Pretty Bird Hills dominate the western portion of this high-desert landscape in Chaves County, characterized by a complex system of dry washes and deep canyons. The terrain is defined by its drainage patterns, notably Walnut Draw and Fourmile Draw in the north, while the southern reaches are marked by Horse Canyon and Long Canyon. These features illustrate the erosion-carved topography of the region, where water has shaped the land into distinctive formations like Pretty Bird Canyon and Crooked Canyon.
