The San Andres Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Sierra County, centered on the prominent peak of Sheep Mtn. This arid region is defined by deep drainages and critical water sources such as Sheep Mountain Spring and Mexican Hat Spring, which historically supported livestock and wildlife in a challenging environment. The topography reveals significant corridors through the range, including Sly Gap and Lava Gap, which provided natural passage between the mountains and the wide Tularosa Valley to the east.
