About this map

The Arizona-New Mexico state line bisects this high-desert landscape where drainage patterns define the movement of water and history across the border. Topographic features such as the Peloncillo Mountains and Bobcat Hills dominate the western terrain, with the prominent Round Mtn rising above Grayhorse Canyon. The area is characterized by a complex network of ephemeral waterways, including the winding Coyote Wash, Railroad Wash, and Horseshoe Wash, which cut through the arid soil towards various basins.

Remote infrastructure is limited, with Co RD a028 providing the primary access through these borderlands. Researchers can trace the varied natural draws such as Thompson Draw, Dagger Draw, and Stanford Draw that once guided travelers and ranchers through this sparsely populated territory. The map serves as a precise record of the public land survey system divisions across several townships, capturing the intersection of state boundaries and the geological formations of the high desert.
