2023 Map of Potrillo Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

Potrillo Peak rises as a prominent landmark within the high desert landscape of West Potrillo Mountains, a region defined by its volcanic geology and arid basin drainage. Much of this terrain is preserved within the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, where the lack of perennial streams has led to the development of numerous earthen tanks for water storage. These isolated water sources, including Bills Tank, Hagens Tank, Jays Tank, and Barbaras Tank, are critical focal points in an otherwise dry expanse. The map details the complex topographic contours of the volcanic field, showing the various cinder cones and lava flows that characterize this part of the Chihuahuan Desert. This survey provides a precise look at the land's relief and the sparse infrastructure used to manage water in this remote corner of New Mexico.
