About this map

Sleeping Lady Hills dominates this Chihuahuan Desert landscape, rising above a network of vital water catchment points essential for livestock and local wildlife. Ranching infrastructure is prominent, marked by numerous named basins including North Kimble Tank, South Kimble Tank, and Candler Tank. These localized water sources, often found near natural topographical breaks, demonstrate the careful management of arid grazing lands in Doña Ana County.

Navigational landmarks like Reichey Butte and a series of mountain passes — Rough and Ready Gap, Middle Gap, and Little Gap — provide a clear picture of the movement patterns through the terrain. The southern portion of the area is defined by more modern infrastructure, where Robert Larson Blvd and Frontage Rd parallel the interstate corridor, contrasting with the remote tracks of Kimble Draw and the utility lines of Powerline Rd.
