1996 Map of Malpais Hill

About this map

The United States-Mexico international boundary defines the southern edge of this Chihuahuan Desert landscape, where the flat basin meets the southern foothills of the Tres Hermanas Mountains. Cattle ranching infrastructure dominates the high desert terrain, marked by isolated outposts like Dogtown Ranch, Edwards Ranch, and Line Ranch. Water management is central to life here, evidenced by numerous man-made features such as Hoppy Tank, Simpson Well, and a variety of unnamed tanks and wells scattered across the drainages of Simpson Draw and Hermanas Draw.
