2023 Map of Potrillo

About this map

The high desert terrain of the East Potrillo Mountains dominates the western edge of this 2023 survey in southern Doña Ana County. This landscape represents a significant portion of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, where the topography drops sharply from the mountain ridges into the surrounding arid plains. Human impact on the land is represented by isolated ranching infrastructure, such as Gerrys Tank, and the straight-line paths of county roads like A 008 Co Rd. The map also delineates the international boundary between the United States of America and Mexico, illustrating how the political frontier intersects this remote area of New Mexico just south of Potrillo.
