About this map

The Sleeping Lady Hills dominate this arid landscape in Doña Ana County, providing a series of natural landmarks such as Reichey Butte and numerous passage points. Navigation through the range is defined by specific topographical breaks, including Rough and Ready Gap at the northern edge, Middle Gap, and Little Gap further south. These features delineate the high ground from the surrounding flats, where the economy of the land is centered on water management for ranching.

A network of water storage sites is distributed across the territory, including Martin Tank, North Kimble Tank, and South Kimble Tank, connected by the seasonal path of Kimble Draw. Modern infrastructure follows the lower elevations at the southern boundary, where the Robert Larson Blvd corridor and Frontage Rd parallel the interstate transit route. Local travel is facilitated by a grid of county roads, such as Co RD c006 and Co RD d012, which link the various tanks and gaps across the township and range lines.
