2017 Map of Potrillo Peak

About this map

The West Potrillo Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, defined by a series of volcanic peaks and ridges. The prominent Potrillo Peak rises as a central landmark within this arid terrain. Water management in this dry environment is evidenced by several named stock tanks or catchments, including Jays Tank, Bills Tank, Hagens Tank, and Barbaras Tank, which are critical for supporting life and ranching in the Chihuahuan Desert. This survey provides a precise view of the topography and land divisions within several townships and ranges, including t27s r4w and t27s r3w, showcasing the sparse human footprint and the reliance on scattered water sources across the mountain range.
