About this map

Round Mountain stands as a central topographic anchor in this high-desert landscape straddling the Arizona-New Mexico state line. The survey captures a network of ephemeral watercourses and deep-cut drainage systems, most notably the winding paths of Coyote Wash and Railroad Wash which define the local hydrology. This borderland region, where Greenlee and Hidalgo counties meet, is characterized by its prominent landforms including the Bobcat Hills and the northern reaches of the Peloncillo Mountains.

Evidence of ranching and remote infrastructure is sparse but present through features like Olney Well Draw and a web of canyons such as Grayhorse Canyon and Little Grayhorse Canyon. The placement of CR-a028 provides a rare modern corridor through this arid terrain. The map serves as a precise record of the complex natural draws, including Thompson Draw and Antelope Canyon, which illustrate the erosion patterns of the Chihuahuan desert transition.
