Red Hills dominates this corner of southeastern New Mexico, characterized by its arid basins and a network of ephemeral drainage patterns. The landscape is defined by extensive topographic features such as Red Hills Draw and Salado Draw, which channel seasonal water through the region. In this cattle-ranching and oil-producing territory of Lea County, the distribution of vital water sources is clearly mapped through numerous named catchments, including Penn Tank, Christian Tank, and Needmore Tank.
