2020 Map of Rough and Ready Hills

About this map

The Rough and Ready Hills define this high-desert landscape in Doña Ana County, where a network of dry washes and canyons carve through the terrain. Evidence of water management for ranching and land use is found throughout the area, marked by features such as Silva Tank, Adobe Tank, and the larger McCall Reservoir. The map shows a series of prominent elevations, from Bell Top Mtn in the northwest to the Cedar Hills along the eastern margin, interconnected by deep drainages like Silva Canyon and Foster Canyon. Significant tracks through the brush, such as Co RD e011 and Co RD d012, provide the primary access through these hills, while local landmarks like Marijuana Tank and Candler Draw reflect the specific nomenclature of this Southwestern territory.
