2023 Map of Red Hill

About this map

Red Hill serves as a lone settlement point in this arid high-desert landscape of western New Mexico. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevations and natural catchments, anchored by the broad expanse of Cimarron Mesa in the north and the distinctive rise of Cerro la Mula to the south. Water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by a network of named livestock tanks including Loco Tank, Luna Tank, and C C Tank. These features, along with Gatlin Lake, suggest a landscape shaped by ranching and the seasonal flows of Agua Fria Creek. The map documents a sparse but vital transportation network, notably McKinley Ranch Rd and Co Rd A005, which provide the primary access through these rugged Catron County townships.
