2023 Map of Souse Springs

About this map

Sierra de las Uvas dominates this desert landscape in Doña Ana County, where a network of arroyos and canyons defines the drainage patterns of the high Chihuahuan Desert. The map reveals an environment where water management is critical, evidenced by the numerous tanks scattered across the terrain such as Peloncillo Tank, Augustine Tank, and Rattlesnake Tank. These man-made features support livestock and wildlife in a region otherwise dependent on rare natural outlets like Souse Spring and Las Uvas Spring.
