The high desert landscape of central New Mexico is defined here by the confluence of major seasonal drainages and striking geological formations. The Rio San Jose winds through the southwestern section, joining the Rio Puerco as it flows south through Bernalillo and Valencia counties. This territory is marked by prominent landforms such as Black Mesa and Mesa Redonda, which overlook the surrounding arroyos. Historical water sources like Dipping Vat Spring and El Ojo Escondido suggest the importance of local hydrology in this arid region.
