About this map

The Tres Hermanas Mountains dominate the southwestern corner of this desert landscape, featuring a series of prominent summits including North Peak, Mid Peak, and South Peak. This modern survey documents a section of Luna County characterized by its extreme aridity and volcanic geology, where drainage patterns like Manning Canyon and Rascon Canyon reveal the erosional history of the peaks.

Settlement is sparse, centered primarily around Waterloo in the northwest and the Hacienda Sur Luna Airport in the southeast. The land is organized by a grid of county roads such as Columbus Rd SE and Homestead Rd SE, which cut across expansive terrain features like Greasewood Hills and Burns Draw. These routes provide essential access to isolated water sources such as Crump Tank and Lonesome Cabin Tank, which are critical infrastructure in this arid environment.
