2017 Map of Soldiers Farewell Hill

About this map

Soldiers Farewell Hill serves as a prominent landmark in this section of southwestern New Mexico, where the high desert meets the northern edges of the Chihuahuan desert. The landscape is defined by its drainages and peaks, with Burro Cienaga and Ninety-six Creek cutting across the terrain. Elevations vary between established peaks like Bessie Rhoads Mtn and JPB Mtn, alongside the complex geology of the Malpais Hills. Remote infrastructure is largely limited to unpaved access routes like Gage Rd and the Access Rd to Gage, highlighting the area's isolation. Local water management is represented by Jarrell Tank Number 1, reflecting the necessity of ranching infrastructure in an arid environment where geographic features like China Draw and South Well Canyon dictate the movement of both water and traveler.
