Round Mountain serves as the namesake landmark for this portion of the New Mexico landscape, which is defined by an intricate network of arroyos and canyons. The distribution of water is the primary narrative of this terrain, where numerous artificial tanks like Pacheco Tank, Cistern Tank, and Government Tank have been established to sustain life in an arid environment. The presence of the Government Water Hole along Purslane Rd suggests a longstanding reliance on specific localized water sources for travelers and livestock alike.
