The Cortez Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Eureka County, where water sources dictated the movement of people and industry. A cluster of numerically designated springs, including Florio Spring Number Two and Florio Spring Number Eight, suggests a systematic development of water resources for ranching or mining operations in the western part of the quadrangle. Access to this high country is facilitated by Buckhorn Ranch Rd, which winds through the basin toward Sheep Creek Canyon.
