About this map

Brokeoff Mountains dominate the eastern landscape of this Otero County region, where the high desert terrain transitions into a complex system of drainage and relief. The area is defined by its dramatic canyons, including North Hammock Canyon, South Hammock Canyon, and Sheep Draw. These features carve through the upland areas, eventually opening into the expansive Crow Flats to the west.

Water movement is primarily ephemeral, marked by the presence of Piñon Wash and the distinctively named Cornucopia Draw. Local transportation is facilitated by a network of county roads such as Co RD g008 and Co RD g022, which traverse the section lines of Townships 24 and 25 South. The map provides a detailed view of the remote geographic markers that have historically guided travelers and land managers through this arid New Mexico environment.
