2013 Map of Souse Springs

About this map

Sierra de las Uvas dominates this desert landscape in Doña Ana County, defined by a complex network of canyons and high peaks. The terrain is marked by prominent landmarks such as Peloncillo Peak, Piña Peak, and the distinctive Tailholt Mtn. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by numerous livestock tanks like Augustine Tank, Rattlesnake Tank, and S Kight Tank scattered across the high country. Natural water sources including Souse Springs and Las Uvas Spring provide critical points of interest within the arid environment. A series of county roads, including CO Road E004 and CO Road E002, navigate the gaps and draws, such as Big White Gap and Little White Gap, connecting this isolated range to the surrounding basin. The survey illustrates a specialized ranching landscape where every canyon, from Rodey Canyon to Broad Canyon, is named and utilized.
