2010 Map of Potrillo Peak

About this map

Potrillo Peak rises as a prominent landmark within the West Potrillo Mountains, a region characterized by its volcanic landforms and complex drainage patterns. This desert landscape in Doña Ana County is defined by its strategic water catchments, which are vital for land management in an arid environment. The map documents several named tanks, such as Jays Tank, Hagens Tank, Bills Tank, and Barbaras Tank, distributed across the quadrangle. These features, along with a network of unimproved roads and trails, illustrate the ranching infrastructure and remote accessibility of the high Chihuahuan Desert during the early twenty-first century.
