About this map

Red Hill serves as a remote western New Mexico settlement along U.S. Route 60, an area defined by its high-desert ranching heritage. The landscape is dotted with vital water sources such as Gatlin Lake, Luna Tank, and Loco Tank, which underscore the importance of water management in this arid territory. Ranching history is further evidenced by landmarks like the Lujan Windmill and the naming of Manuelito Place in the southern portion of the quadrangle.

Transportation through the region relies on a network of secondary roads including County Rd A7 and various forestry routes, which navigate the terrain surrounding Cerro la Mula. The drainage of Agua Fria Creek provides a natural corridor in the northeast. This 2011 survey illustrates the continued use of traditional land features and names that have persisted through generations of land use in Catron County.
