2013 Map of Rattlesnake Hill

About this map

Rattlesnake Hill serves as the central topographic landmark within this high-desert landscape of central New Mexico. The terrain is defined by the precise sectional divisions of the Public Land Survey System, spanning township boundaries from t5n r10e and t5n r11e in the north down through t3n r10e and t3n r11e at the southern edge. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the natural contours and drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Estancia Basin, where elevation changes are marked by subtle ridges and expansive flats rather than dense settlement. The absence of named roads or towns underscores the isolated, open-range character of this region east of the Manzano Mountains.
